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 Everyone,
Info. about this had been posted on various sites but.... just in case you
haven't given it a try yet you might want to do so.
Brigham Young University is in the process of scanning and making available
on line books from their family history collection. So far they have
digitized about 5000 books.
While there is a basic search, you might want to try the advanced search as
you seem to get more hits that way.
Anyway... go to this URL
http://www.lib.byu.edu/
go to the link - Find Other Materials
then to the link - Electronic
then to the link - On Line Collections
then to the link - Text Collections
then to - Family History Archive
You will then see a search page.
I haven't worked with this site much yet to figure out all that it has and
how best to do searches but it looks terrific.
Take care - Emma
Any body have any info on this line?

U.S. Surgeon General's Family History Initiative
Health care professionals have known for a long time that common diseases -
heart disease, cancer, and diabetes - and even rare diseases - like
hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and sickle cell anemia - can run in families. If one
generation of a family has high blood pressure, it is not unusual for the next
generation to have similarly high blood pressure.
Tracing the illnesses suffered by your parents, grandparents, and other
blood relatives can help your doctor predict the disorders to which you may be at
risk and take action to keep you and your family healthy.
To help focus attention on the importance of family health history, U.S.
Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., in cooperation with other
agencies within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has
launched a national public health campaign, called the U.S. Surgeon General's
Family History Initiative, to encourage all American families to learn more about
their family health history.
Good Morning Everyone,
You might want to go to this site and read the article about a program that
creates "fake" family trees.

Fake family trees online may trip up genealogists

Good Evening Everyone,
I have been having computer problems and although I have tried to keep an
eye on things I am concerned that I might have missed an e-mail from someone.
So... if you have tried to contact me recently and I did not respond then
please try again.
I also thought this might be a good time for a list update.
At the present time there are 52 subscribers to the regular version of the
mail list and 28 subscribers to the digest version.
Fall is here and the holidays are approaching quickly. We tend to get busy
this time of year and often mail boxes will fill up. Sometimes when that
happens folks will bounce off the lists.
So... you might want to keep these addresses handy just in case.
First of all, if you think you might have bounced off some of the lists you
were on you can check your subscriptions by going to password central and
asking for a list of your subscriptions.
The URL is:
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com
If you think you have missed some postings to any of the mail lists you can
check the archives for that mail list.
Go to this URL and enter the name of the mail list. You can then check
messages by each month.
http://archiver.rootsweb.com
You can also search past messages for any mail list by going to this URL:
http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
Enter the name of the list you want to search. You can then search the
messages by year.
If you are interested in finding other rootsweb mail lists that might be of
interest then go to this URL:
http://lists.rootsweb.com
And... as always,
If you have any questions or concerns about any rootsweb mail list then
contact the administrator for that list.
You can send a message to any admin by sending the message to:
listname-admin(a)rootsweb.com
Replace the word "listname" with the name of the list - for example:
smith-admin(a)rootsweb.com
Of course, you can always use their personal address if you know it.
We have also had some new folks join the list recently. I do hope new
members will post their information/needs. Someone just might be able to help in
some way.
As you encounter others working on your same names, invite them to join the
various rootsweb lists as well, The more folks we have the more we might be
able to help each other.
And... finally.... take care.... and enjoy your families - they are
precious indeed.
Emma
