Hi there,
Looks like you missed the reply.

The address of the Afrikaans list is Gen . The difference
between this list and the Rootsweb list is, however, that you need to be
invited to join the list. I have already been instrumental in the
invitations to a number of Rootsweb listers so if you would like me to do
the same for you, just say the word.

Regards,

Lucas.
