It seems that the Rootsweb genealogy mailing list servers are down
again. There are several mailing lists dealing with genealogy in
various parts of Africa that have been affected by this.
This is a reminder about the African genealogy and family history
discussion forum, which is not part of Rootsweb and so has not been
affected. It is a continent-wide list, for discussing genealogy and
family history in any part of the African continent.
Visit the forum web page at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/afgen/
for more information, and if you know anyone else who may be
interested, please invite them to do so as well.

If you do not want to be a member of Yahoo! you can still subscribe to
the mailing list by sending e-mail to:
afgen-subscribe@yahoogroups.com
with the word SUBSCRIBE in the subject line and on the first line of
the message.
If you do have a Yahoo! Id you can go to the web page and edit your
membership.
One of the things you can do there is choose between the "New and
improved" and "Traditional" message formats.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU OPT FOR THE "TRADITIONAL" FORMAT.
The "new and improved" format inserts extraneous HTML codes into
messages, which sometimes makes it difficult to read them. Some of us
turn HTML off in our mail readers, because that is a protection
against spam, phishing and malware messages.
