GMAIL INVITES

2004-09-27T07:46:00.000Z

I've got a few of these to spare. Don't know if you've heard of gmail. The 1GB on-line storage makes it ideal to to store all your genealogy site mailings. You then have a rapidly searchable data-base (you search all your received and sent mail using a Google search-engine!). If you want an invite just email me via the link in my profile.
