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

As a companion bit of information, quite a number of men in
Georgia worked for the Railroad and are covered by the Railroad
Retirement Act of 1936. To obtain copies of those records the
person must be directly related.
To help process your request send as much information
as possible including the following:
1. The Employee's full name, including middle initial.
2. The month and year of birth.
3. The year last worked in the rail industry.
4. The year of death.
5. The railroad worked for.
Address all requests to:
U.S. Railroad Retirement Board
Division of Public Affairs
844 Rush Street,
Chicago, IL 60611
As a bit of information, all I knew was when my foster
father retired and place, month and year of birth. In
return, when I obtained a copy of my foster father's
records I discovered for the first time where he worked
prior to coming to Chicago including the information
that he went to work at age 16 for the Great Northern
Railroad out of Seattle, WA.
Good Hunting.

Searching for cousin Carol Ann Cherro Childers, daughter of Mrs. Jerri Hebert
Cherro Childers.
Jerri Hebert married Homer Childers, son of Bob and Elvie Childers, after she
divorced Mr. Cherro. She had a daughter, Carol Ann Cherro, who went by the
name Childers. Not sure if she was legally adopted or not.
Jerri died in 1973 or 74 in Baton Rouge, LA. Carol took off, went to
Illinois to live with her father's sister, and no one in the Childers family
has heard from her since.
Any assistance in locating her would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Marguerite Prince Songy and Alice Brown Smith cousins who miss
her...
ALFORD MALOY CHILDERS, JR., born January 23, 1884 married a woman named MARY
?, and they had a son named JACK CHILDERS, born around 1920 in LeFlore
County, Oklahoma.
This was a second marriage for ALFORD MALOY CHILDERS JR. Shortly after the
birth of his son JACK CHILDERS, his first wife came back to him, so he
divorced MARY and re-married his first wife, JIM BOB FOSTER CHILDRESS. MARY
and JACK went home to her family around LeFlore County, OKlahoma.
I would like to find this JACK CHILDERS. Anyone having any suggestions
please contact me.
Jack Childers in OKC
I have a missing family that I would like to find.
PRENTIS MALOY CHILDRESS, born April 27, 1905, married a woman named BILLIE ?
probably around LeFlore County, Oklahoma. They had two children, MARY ANN
CHILDRESS and ALFORD MALOY CHILDRESS, birthdates unknown.
The divorce was not pleasant and BILLIE stated that she would choke the
children to death before she allowed PRENTIS to see them again. I don't
think she did, but she may have changed their names.
With those particulars I can see how slim my chances of finding them are, but
I would like to try. Anyone having a slight idea please contact me. Thanks,
Jack Childers in OKC

Be kind. I am new to this.(Grin)
Hi group! I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be terminating my
membership with rootsweb because they have changed to a FOR profit
organization (they are incorporated as such in California and Delaware) and
they have claimed ownership to all web page content and list archives that
they were allowed to borrow on the condition they wouldn't profit from it.
This was in direct conflict with the original AUP that was agreed upon by all
list members when we first signed on, where it clearly states that they
CANNOT profit from this material. I feel used and betrayed since I was under
the assumption that the information that I provided to the lists couldn't be
sold. I was so dissatisfied with the way this situation was handled on
another surname list, I simply CANNOT support their efforts any longer. When
another well respected ListOwner on another surname list requested some
clarification, she was terminated as the ListOwner and all of her emails were
blocked, so she had some problems actually discussing the issues with the
owners of Rootsweb. This was all after they had blocked access to OUR
webpages and archives. Don't get me wrong, this list is great...but to give
you an idea, the list I am speaking of averages 28 messages a day, so the
material that was being claimed by Rootsweb was CONSIDERABLE. In fact, it was
over 18,000 messages, all of which were contributed by hundreds of
individuals with the belief that they wouldn't be sold. We also had obtained
permission from SEVERAL authors and publishers to copy their books and put
them online. Literally thousands of posts and a VERY comprehensive website
that included over 20 family reports and a page for every county in the
United States, as well as comprehensive web pages for other countries. I
wrote to Rootsweb to try and figure out what they were thinking and I was
told that it was ALL rumor and that there were people who have had it in for
Rootsweb for a long time. I can only assume that they didn't know how much I
knew about the situation. I am actually surprised that this list hasn't had
any discussion regarding this change is status. At any rate, good luck in all
of your genealogical endeavors. I am going to find a NON profit organization
to send my information to. I certainly hope this makes it to the group, but I
am not holding my breath.
The letter below was forwarded to me:
ARE YOUR POSTINGS NOW OWNED BY ROOTSWEB?
A GUIDE TO THE MAILING LIST RIGHTS OF
LISTOWNERS AND POSTERS AT ROOTSWEB
BEFORE AND AFTER 16 JUN 1999
Prior to 26 May 1999, the vast majority of the thousands of Genealogical
Mailing Lists served by the RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative (now a
for-profit organization) were administered by Individual Listowners. On 26
May 1999, however, RootsWeb announced the creation of over 3,000 new
Surname Mailing Lists, and on 9 Jun 1999, of over 1,000 new U.S. County
Mailing Lists all solely owned by RootsWeb.
On 16 Jun 1999, RootsWeb published a new Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) in
RootsWeb Review, Vol. 2, No. 24, 16 June 1999
(ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/review/19990616.txt), which significantly
reduced the rights and Copyrights of Posters except to those Mailing List
subject to Pre-Existing Agreements; i.e., all Genealogical Mailing Lists
created prior to 26 May 1999.
PRE-EXISTING AGREEMENTS
Prior to publication of the new AUP on 16 Jun 1999, the Individual
Copyright of each List Posting was that of the Poster, and the Compilation
Copyright of each List's Archives (collection of all postings) was that of
the Listowner.
IF a Listowner chose to Archive his/her List at RootsWeb, RootsWeb owned
the Output Copyright of Search Engine Returns (Format and Presentation),
but only while the List's Archives were Searchable by RootsWeb Search
Engine(s). RootsWeb had no copyright other than the license to the original
distribution.
IF a Listowner chose to Archive his List at RootsWeb, he had the choice of
either the ISearch Search Engine only, or both the ISearch Search Engine
and the HotDig Search Engine (with Threaded Archives).
IF a Listowner chose to Archive his List at another server, he could do so,
regardless of whether or not the List's Archives were also being Archived
at RootsWeb.
IF a Listowner chose to cease Archiving at any time, he could do so,
regardless of whether or not his List's Archives would be maintained on
another server.
IF a Listowner chose to remove his List's Archives at any time, he could
demand that this be done, and was free to delete his own copy and/or upload
them anywhere at any time.
IF the List Archives were searchable with engines provided by RootsWeb, the
latter held an Output (Format or Presentation) Copyright. IF, however, the
Listowner chose to not Archive List Postings, or to Archive List Postings
on another server.
Note: Each Individual List also has its own Policies, Procedures,
Guidelines and/or Agreements, most often found in a List's Welcome Letter.
These agreements are between the Listowner and the List Subscribers and in
many cases supercede and/or are in addition to RootsWeb Policies,
Procedures, Guidelines, Agreements and/or AUPS, whether Pre- or Post-16 Jun
1999.
POST-AUP (16 Jun 1999)
New Mailing Lists (those created after publication of the new AUP on 16 Jun
1999) are apparently covered by the new AUP, under which RootsWeb has (a)
the right to Permanent Distribution and Re-Distribution of all Postings;
and (b) possibly(?) the right to require "Listowners" to Archive Postings
at RootsWeb (and only at RootsWeb?).
Unfortunately, many Listowners and Posters have not been notified of
pre-existing or new policies, guidelines and rights, nor of current
problems and confusion regarding new List Archiving Policies and Procedures.
Furthermore, it is impossible for the Poster to know if a List is a New
List or an Old List unless the Listowner adds Notices to the List's Welcome
Letters, Digest Administrivia and Tag Lines.
