The Last Edition of the RootsWeb Review
December 14th, 2011 by AnnaToday many of you received a copy of the RootsWeb Review in your Inbox. Until you read my note you didn’t realize that this would be the last edition you would receive. We have decided to move from a monthly newsletter to posting updates from the staff here, in the Newsroom, and to hopefully have some guest bloggers who can impart their wisdom to the rest of us.
Here is my note from the Review:
I have had the privilege of being part of RootsWeb for many years and for the past 5 years I have worked behind the scenes on things such as creating mailing lists, message board improvements and managing the day to day operations of the site. For the past few years I have been the editor of the RootsWeb Review working with Gerhard, Joan and Mary to create an informational and entertaining newsletter. It saddens to tell you that this will be the last edition of the RootsWeb Review. For 14 years we have laughed at funny names, cried over amazing discoveries, screamed in frustration at our brick walls, and most importantly we’ve grown and found our roots together. I encourage you to stop by the Newsroom for updates on what is happening around RootsWeb. (Visit the RootsWeb Review Archives to read all of the past editions of the Review.)
It truly has been an amazing past 5 years. I love seeing the spirit of RootsWeb at work as we interact with each other and research together- posting on message boards, doing look-ups and giving of your time and expertise to assist others without a thought of what you will get in return. You, the RootsWeb community, are the backbone of RootsWeb!
From my family to yours best wishes for a wonderful holiday season!
