Hello folks:
By now, I hope that all of you have received the Welcome Message from the
new CAPLES-L mailing list at RootsWeb. Please send your CAPLES surname
information and discussion to this listserver by addressing your notes to
CAPLES-L(a)rootsweb.com
If you have address book entries, don't forget to update them.
I think you will quite pleased with this server. It has the following
capabilities above and beyond those at USRoots:
* SPAM Filter. This will significantly reduce the amount of
advertising "junk" which gets through to the list
* Searchable Archives. Point your browser to
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
Enter the name of any surname list at RootWeb (CAPLES, WALKER,
YOUNG, etc.) and follow the directions to search the list's
archives. Since our list is new, there will be very little
data there.
* Linked Archives. Coming soon! You'll be able to read all
the archived notes in the order in which they were submitted
to the list. RootsWeb has agreed to add the notes from the
old mailing list, so the entire set of our archived notes
will eventually be available.
If you run into any problems, please feel free to contact me:
lcompton(a)onramp.net
Regards,
Leigh
