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
Hiya everyone,
As it's the holiday season many of you want to share holiday messages or
send seasonal URL's to the list which is fine by me. BUT, let's set up a
few rules as to not impose on our members who do not like what is
considered 'off topic' posts. (NOTE to our hard core genealogy friends,
please be tolerant of us during this time).
**First of all, PLEASE put the letters, "OT," in the subject line to
indicate that your are sending an off topic message. Members who don't
want to be bothered can simply delete the post.
**Second, please don't send dozens and dozens of these messages at the
same time as we don't want to clog up emailboxes nor the archives.
**Third, the time frame for these holiday/seasonal messages can be
posted from today through January 2.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS,
Your list administrator,
Lainee

Who Has the Data? Does your state, province, county, parish, church, old
military unit or alma mater have material available that you think
would be of interest to genealogists and historians? Do you have any
compiled lists of names or databases -- other than your personal family
tree (genealogies can be posted at WorldConnect:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/ ) -- that you would like to share and
that you think would be of value and interest to others? In most cases,
RootsWeb would be proud to host them.

Heraldry has been used as a means of identification for hundreds of
years. While early coats of arms were simplistic in design and used
primarily for recognition in battle during medieval times, they evolved to
be more decorative and symbolic, while proving to be an exciting avenue to
further genealogical research. In an effort to help genealogists learn more
about coats of arms, while possibly discovering their own, Ancestry.com
recently digitized and made available two books on Scottish and English
heraldry.
The Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry is an alphabetically listed
glossary of terms and words used in heraldry, and provides useful insight to
the deciphering of historic heraldry. Armorial Families: A Directory of
Coat-Armor, is a directory of some gentlemen who were entitled to bear arms
in Great Britain, and shows those arms said to be borne by legal authority.
Both books include descriptions and explanations of heraldic terms as well
as supplementary illustrations. Their simplicity of presentation and
convenience provide for quick and easy reference tools. Search Armorial
Families: A Directory of Coat-Armor, and Glossary of Terms Used in Heraldry
now to learn more about heraldry.
Support RootsWeb when you subscribe to search and decode legally
documented coats of arms today.
