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
I don't know where in Virginia the Abraham docked. I do know that John J.
Clanton came over on the Abraham in 1635 and that the Captain was John Barker.
I found that information at the Library here but I will have to look up the
title of the book. You may have already received the information that you
wanted, I've been gone for two weeks.

Hi folks!
Hope everyone is gearing up for the holidays! Don't forget to review your
genealogy notes and make notes of who you need info. Now is the season to
update your records at the family gatherings. We all know they hate to see us
coming, but they sure seem to like to see the finished product!!!
Found this site the other day and wanted to share it.

It could be another one you might want to add to your "favorite" site list.

It was brought to my attention that new members to the list may not know the
URL for the website. Please let me remedy this...
http://members.aol.com/clantonweb/index.html
Is the URL to point your web browsers. There are some things are not working
at present due to lack of space that I am still working finding space or
cutting something out. Some of the GEDCOMs are not downloadable at the moment
for one.
Happy hunting all!

When I first started this mailing list with a handful of people I would have
never thought I could have reached the goal I set then...to have at 50 people
subscribed. The list has been going for about 18 months now and we have a
subscription base of nearly 70 people. I think this is great! The eyes we
have reading the more chances we have of someone making a "cousin connection!"
I did have another pleasant surprise...the website has had over a 1000
visitors since the first of the year.
Thank you to each and everyone for their participation and contributions.
Just a reminder, please share your achievements from using the list. Since
the list is not as active as others, I am sure people would like to hear of
successful "cousin connections."

This came from Dick Eastman's Online Genealogy Newsletter. I thought it has
some interesting complications for those of us who are used to helping each
other and are sometimes a little gullible about commercial sites.
Genealogy Web Site Sells Your Name and E-mail Address
It's a tough world. Lots of businesses sell their customer lists
these days. The result is that you get junk mail and marketing
phone calls from all sorts of companies trying to sell you
something you probably don't want. The newest twist is "spam
mail," unwanted e-mails that advertise all sorts of junk. Now a
well-known genealogy Web site is contributing to the spam mail
that you receive and apparently is profiting from personal
information that they obtain from you under the guise of helping
you do genealogy research. In fact, the Web site apparently is a
"front," as the main purpose seems to be gathering personal
information about you and then selling that information.
The Family Tree House Web site at http://www.usaafter.com claims
that it is "the Association for FamilyTree Enrollment and
Registry." The home page says, "This site offers free family tree
software and links to key genealogy sites. The software is
available on-line. You can build your FamilyTree House in real
time, no downloading is required."
They also say, "...you can create and register your own on-line
FamilyTree. And because it is on-line, you can enlist the help of
other family members by giving them your personal access code to
allow them to fill in the missing branches--it's a project the
whole family can participate in no matter where they live." On
another page the site advises, "When requesting information,
please make sure you include your name, mailing address and the
information you would like."
After they collect all the personal information from you and your
other family members, the owners of Family Tree House apparently
package the information and sell it to other companies that send
junk mail or spam e-mails. On a different Web site, the owners of
Family Tree House offer "a file of 33,600 last-12-month
registrants of the Family Tree House, an association that offers
Web site members free software and links to genealogy sites." The
file they sell reportedly contains information about each person's
date of birth, gender, e-mail address, state and ZIP code. The Web
advertisement says that the file contains listings for 33,600
people who have left personal information on the Family Tree House
site.
