RootsWeb -- Have You Used This Source?

This past week has been busy, as I helped 12 people who contacted me via the FREE RootsWeb site. Below is a screen shot of my email archived files for this week. The six queries are for various surnames, others were placed in individual labeled files; two in the Westover file, one in Canadian and two in the Scrambling file, so a total of 11. I never paid much attention to totals or how many I helped until yesterday. Just recently I began asking people if they found me through my Blog or RootsWeb. All of them said RootsWeb. If you help people, you know the conversation thread usually goes back and forth with the exchange of information, so the entire process can take days to come to a conclusion. All my RootsWeb correspondence is archived, so in the past five or so years with Gmail, I've helped about 560 people.

If you don't use RootsWeb, I hope you try it. It's a nice place to put your GEDCOM, for others to see, and 72 Saturday Surname entries for my Blog was done through RootsWeb, I prepare their Register report and copy my data to the blog. Easy, easy.

An example of a RootsWeb report using their Register format is below.
