Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Although this message is coming to you from Mary Deahl's computer, I am sitting here in Virginia, helping her with some genealogical work.
Please for every member of the list try to have a happy New Year. Be safe
Remember we need to know what your "stone walls" are even if they are not direct line Charles. Many of our ancestors married back and forth across several lines, so we can all help each other out.
Thanks and have a Happy New Year.
Hello,
I am searching for information on Isaac CHARLES b est 1755, I do
not know if he was born in PA or England. Isaac lived in Moon Twp.
Allegheny Co. Isaac may have also lived in Beaver Co. His son Elijah Sr.
b 11 Apr 1775, Elijah married Anna STEVENSON in Allegheny Co. Elijah and
Anna later moved to Mansfield, OH.
Sue in Oregon
On the heels of the last message that I just sent out, I feel that I need to
let the people who have joined either the Charles or Goodyear list know that
I am wishing them a blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have not been
able to do alot with the lists this fall, because as I indicated in the
introductory letter you get from the list, my other real life job is
teaching special needs students. I am however trying to make some New
Year's resolutions ahead of time, and will try to take the time to write to
both of the lists at least once a week in the new year. As you can see by
my tag line I have several different families I am interested in, but
primarily the Charles and Goodyear lines. If you are new to the list please
post to the list a brief summary of who you are looking for and what is your
stone wall, even if it is a line that married into the family. I have spent
considerable time in the past few months reading census records, and it is
amazing how families cross over each other.

Rootsweb DOES NOT allow any attachments to its messages, therefore if you
get a message with the rootsweb.com as part of an address and it has a
message in it that asks you to open an attachment, please DO NOT. See
below. I have a standard policy of not opening attachments on any message
unless the person sending it tells me: by the way I scanned in thus and
such and am mailing it to you as an attachment. Generalized attachments go
the way of the circular file, without being opened, I don't care if I could
win a million dollars by doing so, it is not worth the headache of having to
clean a virus off of my machine.
