I regreat that Les will no longer be our list administrator. Les, thank you
for a wonderful job.
I also want to thank Virginia Ewing for starting this list and being our
first list administrator.
I am researching the same Cavin family that Virginia is researching... the
Thomas Cavin family of southwest Mississippi (Wilkinson and Amite Counties).
I am also the board administrator for the Cavin GenConnect Boards.
We do have a new development that I would like to share with you.
Rootsweb has announced a new service whereby any posts to the
GenConnect boards can now be "gatewayed" to mailing lists. When a
board is gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the
GenConnect board will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list.
The message sent to the list will contain the URL of the specific
post to allow the list subscribers to respond directly to the
message. In this manner, gatewaying will enable more effective
communication between the mailing lists and the GC boards.
The messages from the GenConnect board will be forwarded with the
prefix: [GenConnect] so you can distinguish them better. If you want
to delete, fine, but with the very slight increase in messages
received, I feel this will be a great way to find something you might
have otherwise missed.
If you have any concerns or questions, please feel free to contact me
directly at genmamma(a)yahoo.com.
Thanks.
Your new Cavin List Administrator
Carolyn Switzer
