Bonjour,
I can't remember where it is, but there IS a web site where one can
register a change of email address.

I think we all have that problem, but not so much as a prolific
researcher like Linda Lou.
I changed my addy from "Kith-n-Kin at att.net" to "Kith-n-Kin at
Cox.net" because I'm going to eventually close out the att account.
After all, it is costing me. ATT is a dial-up account, so I have to have
another server (Cox) to have cable. Not willing to pay a "subscription"
both to ATT and Cox.
My hope is that where I have not changed the address, someone will think
to "google" "kith-n-kin" and come up with the right address. Actually,
I just did a test of this, and the only "hits" (other than various "kith
'n kin" sites) were e-mails from to or from me, to rootsweb lists and
this list.
So, I guess a good message here also is this. When you "change your
e-mail address" with the "list-mom", also send an e-mail to the list
saying:
"Kith-n-kin at att.net
is now
Kith-n-Kin at cox.net"
That way, searching may be more productive. Don't we all complain about
MaryJo at ratyear.com who left a message and now I can't find her? Now, if
she just said "Mary Jo is now at dogyear.com . . .so much easier. <G>

The good thing is that someone else may find that same obscure

That is exactly why I stay with AOL in spite of all the bad comments.
I occasionally get a response to something I posted in 1997 or 1998.
If I change my email address, I would never get those.
