House Family Discussion List

A list has been established for House family researchers as a discussion area for anyone who is interested in researching their HOUSE (and related spellings: HOWSE, HAAS, HAUSE, HOWS, HAISE, etc.) roots from any time, anywhere. This mailing list is for you, and you make it what it is. There is no charge for this list. If you want to share HOUSE information, this is a good place to post it. If you come across some HOUSE information on another list, and it's not your branch, please post it to the group. You never know when someone might need this information. Betsy Mills is the list owner.

Anyone may post HOUSE related queries to this list, but you must be a subscriber to the list. We had to change this to keep down the SPAM on the list.

To subscribe to the list, send a message to: HOUSE-L-request@rootsweb.com
and put SUBSCRIBE in the body of the message (not the subject line).

To unsubscribe, send a message to: HOUSE-L-request@rootsweb.com

DO NOT SEND THESE MESSAGES TO THE LIST ADDRESS!!!
You do not have to turn off your signature lines, but be sure to put two blank lines between your message and your signature.
