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
Hi Listers:
Several months ago List Owner Diane asked that I caretake this List
for her for a short period. This is the normal procedure when a List
Owner (or Administrator if you prefer) is going to be off-line for more
than a few days.
Usually everything runs smoothly, and the List Owner returns as
planned. In the meantime the Caretaker, having the List password,
attends to any subscription or other problems on the List.
Unfortunately Diana hasn't returned and attempts to contact her at
her last known address have been unsuccessful. The time has now
come to make fresh arrangements for administration of this List:. As
a "stranger" I'm unable anything to the List beyond "mechanics". I
can't promote the List topic, or answer any queries!
Is there anyone on the List who would be willing to Caretake on the
understanding that if Diane does return she has prior claim to the
List? If Diane does not return then you will probably inherit the List
by default. No pay of course - it's all voluntary "work" done out of
love for the hobby!
If someone volunteers who hadn't managed a List before there's
plenty of help available from Rootsweb, or I'll help if need be.
Interested? Contact me at vb(a)kuchena.co.uk and be sure to put the
name of the List in the subject. Diane had a lot of List's that I'm still
caretaking and now seeking to hand over!

List Caretaker.
Does anyone have a telephone number or a better e-mail address than
diane(a)sowden8945.freeserve.co.uk for List Owner Diane Sowden?
Mail sent to the address she was using in January is returned marked
"Over quota".
Please reply to me direct, not via the List.
Vic
List Caretaker
