WORLD WIDE WEB Last update: January 28, 1996 Maintained by Chris Gaunt, cgaunt@umich.edu. A note about addresses: When you enter the address into your web browser, it must be one continuous line. Some of the addresses listed below are too long to fit on one line, and so are broken up. It would be easiest to copy and paste each segment into the browser's "Location" or "URL" or "Go To" field, leaving no spaces between segments.

To get the entire RLL, send the following to listserv@mail.eworld.com (the file you receive will also contain instructions for submission of entries to the RLL): GET FAMILY LOCLIST 24. Roots Surname List (RSL). The RSL is a list of surnames with associated dates and locations that is intended to help genealogical researchers locate others interested in sharing and comparing data about the same families. Genealogists are welcome to submit their surnames for inclusion in the RSL if they are willing to share their data with others who may be doing parallel research. The =update= to the RSL is posted to the ROOTS-L mailing list and the soc.genealogy.surnames newsgroup on the first Sunday of the month. At the same time, the entire RSL is stored on the ROOTS-L listserver. To obtain information on the RSL, send the following to listserv@mail.eworld.com: GET FAMILY README 25. RSL Search Program. A program to search the Roots Surname List and receive information on surname matches. To get the information file on this program, send email to rsl-info@gen.roc.wayne.edu with any subject and text. To submit a query, send email to rsl@gen.roc.wayne.edu with the body of the message containing the surnames you are interested in. The response will contain all of the matches for these surnames and information on the people who submitted those matches. The program will ignore any line that contains more than one word so be sure each surname is on a separate line. You can search for a name with spaces by adding a '/' before the name (e.g., /Van Camp would search for Van Camp but not VanCamp). The program searches for all names beginning with the name that you submitted (e.g., a search for 'Smith' would provide Smith, Smithson, Smithberg, etc.). If you wish to search for only 'Smith', place '?' in front of the name (e.g., ?Smith) and you will receive only those entries for Smith. You can combine the '/' and '?' features (e.g., entering '/?Van Camp' would return all 'Van Camp' entries, while entering '/Van Camp' would return 'Van Camp' and 'Van Campen'). 26. Slovenian Genealogical Society. Individuals who believe they have ancestors in Slovenia can send their names/data for publication in the Society's monthly bulletin.

Tiny Tafels should be sent to him at Brian.Mavrogeorge @f30.n125.z1.fidonet.org. Before submitting your Tiny Tafel to Brian, it is strongly recommended that you make his life easier and get the file GENEALOG TTSPEC which provides the specifications for Tiny Tafel submissions. To get this file, send a message to listserv@mail.eworld.com with the following as the only text: GET GENEALOG TTSPEC 29. Tafel Search (Genealogy Online). Send a message to server@genealogy.emcee.com with search request in the _subject_ field of the message (e.g., find pettit, find P330). Matching tafel data entries will be returned by email and a 'no match' will return a blank message. The name of the file from which your entries derived will be appended to the end of each entry. You can then send for the tafels themselves by sending messages to the same address (e.g., send tt/keen.tt). Only one search or one file can be made per message. Submissions to the archive can be sent to ttafel@genealogy.emcee.com. Send only properly formatted tiny tafels and include no additional text at either the top or bottom. It is important that the header information properly identifies you. The Tiny Tafel Email Server can also convert your surnames to Soundex (one name per message).
