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
- Scottish Record Office Online
The Scottish Record Office is making its indexes available online. The
June 23 edition of the Glasgow Herald ran an article describing the
plans. The following is a brief extract from that article:
Staff at New Register House, Edinburgh, where the details of
all births, marriages and deaths of everyone in Scotland are
kept, say they are constantly besieged by tourists wishing to
trace the Scottish side of their family trees. They say a limited
number of public access seats to the records means many Scots are
unable to carry out searches because of the number of tourists
using the files. They say many tourists who come to Scotland claim
they are torn between visiting the sights and sitting in stuffy
New Register House. Now computer experts have been hired to make
details of all births, deaths and marriages in Scotland accessible
via the Internet.
Once the Internet Website is launched, it is hoped that people
living anywhere in the world will access the pages. People will be
charged for the subsequent search and it is hoped the scheme will
prove to be very profitable. Records enterprise manager John
Mackay said: "Tracing ancestors seems to be becoming more and more
popular as is using the Internet so we decided to combine the
two...". Mr. Mackay said initially only details of birth, marriage
and death certificates from the years 1855 to 1896 would be
available on the Internet. However, plans were under way to have
all parish registers between 1553 and 1854 added, along with
census details from 1891 and 1881. Mr. Mackay said: "We have
decided at this stage not to put any details of births, deaths,
and marriages that have occurred in the past 100 years on the
Internet as we appreciate some people may not want their details
sent across the world. The Website is expected to be up and
running by September."
My thanks to Douglas Brown for passing along the information on
this new announcement.

I have just established a personal home page. It is certainly
primitive by Derick's standards, but is a start. I invite everyone
to take a look at http://www.goodnet.com/~cheyne
I have links to my workplace and to son Jim Jr's website. I also
put up the George Cheyne in Huntly family. This was the one that was
so temperamental at the Gensource site. It is the family for most of
the New Zealand Cheynes.
So -- please take a look and provide your input to what I should add.

I am very happy to see that the group has now expanded to include
the other branches of the family, Cheneys and Chaneys, and we hope
future other cousins. Welcome to you all. Please invite other
family members to join us.
I would encourage EVERYONE to heed Wendy's call to submit your own
family history to be incorporated into the greater body of knowledge.
We owe it to the future generations to tell what we know. I shutter
to think of the oral history lost in my own family with the passing
of my aunts and uncles. I am now trying to get as much information
from my 86 year old mother as possible to record.
As the family historian, I plan to write a monthly, brief historical sketch
about some facet of the family. This sketch will be posted to the
group on a regular basis. Your input is sincerely requested.

Hello Cheyne researchers;
Derick Hartshorn just emailed everyone with information reguarding the
rootsweb. Derick has asked me to solicit each preson on the list, asking
them for any data they feel would help illustrate their family ancestry.
We were thinking of putting the Cheyne Researchers list, that I've been
putting together the last few weeks, onto the website. If for some reason
you do not wish to have your information on the net please let Derick and I
know. Also please let me know by July 31st if you wish to have any changes
to the information I now have. Otherwise the list will look like:

Dear Cheyne cousins,
After having the CHEYNE home page (hosted by GenSource) down since late
1996, we will soon be hosted by RootsWeb. For those of you not familiar with
the problems that beset this all-volunteer data co-op, problems occurred
when a huge amount of unsolicited e-mail hit the RootsWeb server. As there
were 1,400 or so lists, the effect was multiplied and the server could not
process the mail and a crash resulted. From private sources (Dr. Brain
Leverich and Karen Isaacson) a new server was purchased and the mail has
been restored. Home pages and archived files will soon be given attention.
At that time I hope to have the CHEYNE page back up. I will notify everyone
when that takes place.
As you are probably aware, purchasing and maintaining a server represents a
commitment of human and financial resources. Many folks of the list have
taken "a free information interchange" for granted. However, as RootsWeb is
the acknowledged leader in the realm of genealogical data, we in the
genealogical community have a responsibility to help support their (and our)
efforts.
The fee for hosting a web site, like the CHEYNE page, is $12/yr for 25 mgb
of space. This doesn't represent the true cost which is much more but
RootsWeb is relying on membership and sponsorship to defray costs. I am
currently a sponsor and have already sent a check for $12 for our first year
of web space.
I AM NOT making an appeal for money for myself nor do I expect all the folks
on this list to underwrite the project. I WOULD LIKE to make you all aware
of what RootsWeb is and how to help support it, should you desire.
To learn more about the project and the scope of what exists and is in the
planning stage, check their page at: http://www.rootsweb.com/
To learn how to help support this effort, see:
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html
Hopefully, we will be on-line soon and we can begin to post all the family
trees of list subscribers shortly thereafter.
Kind regards to all,
--Derick S. Hartshorn

The list has grown....If you ever run across some information that you think
may be of interest to others in regards to the Cheyne name simply send a

As a newcomer to rootsweb I would like to contact as many researchers as
possible with ancestors coming from the NE of Scotland, and in particular,
my Cheyne origins come Old Deer and Rathen parishes where I have got back
to a James(or William) Cheyne and a Jane Connon who were married(?) late
1700's. Any descendants from thereby who have stories handed down or
anecdotal, I would dearly like to know and perhaps some day these tales
could be gathered together for all interested parties to share.
Regards to all,
Rodi Bain
