RootsWeb Newsroom

In the broadest sense of the word we are all RootsWeb.  All of us who use the site, contribute our hard work and knowledge, and the thousands of volunteers who along with staff members put their heart and soul into the site…

 
One of the people who has been a RootsWeb fixture behind the scenes is Elaine – she has lovingly managed the message boards for many years and is now moving on.  We hope you join us in giving Elaine a huge THANK YOU for all of the work she has done over the years and in sending her our best wishes as she pursues other endeavors.

 
With big shoes to fill we are excited to introduce you to David Coleman.  David has taken on the Message Board and Mailing List responsibilities creating a one stop connection for Board and List administrators.  We hope that this makes life a little easier for our volunteers. 

 
And who else is there behind the scenes?  Along with David, Mike and Gerhard respond to help tickets, manage the features of the site, keep the RootsWeb Review on time and do many other things that we don’t see.  Randy and Bill manage the servers, fix the bugs, develop new features and keep the site going.  Lastly David (yes, we now have 2 David’s on the team) and I work to fill in the cracks and coordinate the management of the site.   

 
We are looking foward to a spending a great 2009 with you, our RootsWeb family!
