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,
I received this from another mailing list and thought many of you might be
interested. If not I apologize for taking up your time but I think as Dick
says "Buyer beware." I personally had an experience with this sort of thing.
I keep finding MY own material on a CD that I did NOT authorize.
Have a good day.
