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,
I would like to let you know about a new Rootsweb program that will greatly
reduce the time it takes for you to receive posts made to the GenConnect
boards. In the past, I have saved any posts made to the boards during the
week, and then sent them to the list on the weekends. Starting now, all
posts will be sent directly to the mailing list, via the new 'Gateway'
system.
This is the announcement from Rootsweb:
"GenConnect boards can now be 'gatewayed' to mailing lists. When a board is
gatewayed to a mailing list, every message posted to the GenConnect board
will be forwarded to the corresponding mailing list. The message sent to the
list will contain the URL of the specific post to allow the list subscribers
to respond directly to the message. In this manner, gatewaying will enable
more effective communication between the mailing lists and the GenConnect
boards."
I hope you will take this opportunity to try out the family GenConnect boards
and post messages to any of the seven different topics: Bible Records,
Biographies, Deeds, Obituaries, Pensions, Queries, and Wills. As we use
these boards to record our family names and information, they will become an
even greater source of research material.
Please visit the GenConnect boards on the CLAIBORNE Resource page...
