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
Good Morning Everyone:
It seems there have been some problems lately with people unsubbing and this
is the problem. Please know which list you are a member of, i.e., the
Digest (many messages coming together) or the List (messages coming one at a
time). Three times this week I"ve had to unsub people because they have
been trying to unsub from the wrong list.
If you have questions don't forget that at the list homepage you will find
the instructions. The page address is:
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/4759
Just scroll to the list you belong to and retrieve the information.
Thanks,
Debi
Listmom
P.S. I have the best lists around and I appreciate everyone chipping in.
Thanks so much for being great.

Dear Listowner,
Although I am not a subscriber to your state list I have an announcement
(below my signature) I was hoping you would consider passing along to your
list members.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Subject: Newspaper Abstracts
There is a new mail list and web site at Rootsweb!!
This list is for the submission of newspaper abstracts. Newspapers are a
wonderful and often overlooked resource for those researching their
families.
Many fascinating and descriptive details can be found about the lives our
ancestors from the businesses they frequented to the hardships they endured
while trying to build a new life in a new land. Even letters home from men
at
war detailing their daily accounts were occasionally printed for all to
read.
Over the years many records were lost or destroyed in fires, floods and
natural disasters. Newspapers include notations on births, illnesses and
deaths that occured before local and state governments began keeping
records.
Other items such as tax rolls, local military rosters, court notifications
in
chancery and probate, separations and divorces are also given mention.
Many newspapers managed to survive the test of time and can now be found at
most state libraries on microfilm and are available thru inter-library loan
for viewing at your local library.
To view our web site, click here: <A
HREF="http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~newspapr/">Newspaper Abstracts
Home Page</A> (http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~newspapr/)
And to join our mail list send an email to:
Newspaper-Abstracts-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
or
Newspaper-Abstracts-D-request(a)rootsweb.com (if you prefer the digest
version)
and in the body of the message write only the word:
subscribe
Feel free to pass this information on to other lists.
Have a wonderful week,
Barbara Freeman

Subject: GenConnect Server Temporarily Down
The server that houses GenConnect will be down today (Tuesday, Oct 26,
1999) until about 9 pm PST (midnight east coast). It's being moved to a
new location.
Once it's back up, it may have a new DNS, so if it appears to still be down
for you, please allow some time for the DNS to filter its way through the
'Net.
If you or your visitors have trouble bringing GenConnect up after tonight,
try the following (these are all DNS-caching related):
Dump your browser's cache.
Empty your 'history' folder.
Shut down your browser and restart it.
If that still doesn't work, try rebooting your computer. Some browsers
cache DNS's.
Best of luck,
The GenConnect Team
