From Rootsweb, What is the RSL? “The RootsWeb Surname List (RSL) is a list or registry of surnames. Associated with each surname are dates and locations, and information about how to contact the person who submitted the surname. If you are researching a family with the same surname, in the same area and similar time frame, then you might find it useful to contact the person who submitted the surname to share and compare notes.”
