This is to let folks know of a brand new mailing list and message board on RootsWeb. We only started two weeks ago but the list already has 90 subscribers. With a long and glorious maritime tradition in Nova Scotia, the topic of this list and board is the genealogy and history of Nova Scotia as it pertains to the seafaring community and the ships they sailed on.

I invite anyone to join us, and share our interest in this area of genealogy. If you would care to subscribe to the list, send the usual “subscribe” (without the quotes, please) message to:

NOVA-SCOTIA-SEAFARERS-L-REQUEST@rootsweb.com for “list” mode or

NOVA-SCOTIA-SEAFARERS-D-REQUEST@rootsweb.com for “digest” mode

To visit the message board, go the RootsWeb Message Board home page, then click on “browse all topics,” then “occupations,” and finally “Seafarers of Nova Scotia.” I will be looking forward to seeing you all there.
