People subscribe to the mailing lists that appeal to them (this one, lists for specific localities, surnames, etc). You can subscribe in Digest mode where a bunch of messages appear in one mailing or in the form of receiving an email for each post made to the lists. If you have a question, brick wall, etc. regarding genealogy and/or your searches that you need help with, you post to the board like you did. It helps to use a brief yet descriptive subject line (which you did). The more information you provide and the more specific information you ask for (spouse, parents, birthplace, etc), the better others on the list are able to help you (you did a great job with this, too!). Use the site to obtain assistance with your tough spots, and to connect with others researching along the same lines as you are. Welcome to the list! And don't forget to check out all the other great resources at Rootsweb, such as the message boards, guides, and other information they have on the site.
