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
Is anyone researching the John P. Clauson family of Hunterdon, New
Jersey? They are found on the 1850 census of Delaware Twp. Living in
the same dwelling number, but listed as a separate family, is my 3rd
great grandmother Catharine HOFFMAN and her daughter Mary Ann.
What I am wondering is this: Could Susan (wife of John Clauson) be the
daughter of Catharine Hoffman? Or could Catharine be related in some
other way to the Clauson family? I would appreciate any information at
all on this Clauson family, and am willing to share what I know of the
Hoffman line if this Susan is indeed a daughter of Catharine Hoffman.
Thank you!

Hey all,
Received this on another list, but had not seen it here and thought you might
be interested. A new rootsweb census lookup list for each state.
Deb
Hello Everyone ! I have had to reword and rework the guidelines for the
CENSUS-LOOKUP mailing lists and also include subscription instructions. I am
sending these below. The lists have been growing like crazy since I created
them three days ago and I expect the growth to continue as the word spreads.
Please feel free to forward this to anyone you feel may be interested in
joining. Of course the more people we have the more help we will be for each
other. Please keep in mind that we are only a few days old and if your lookup
request is not answered, try again in a week or two. Some of the state lists
have already reached over 150 subscribers <G> Others have not been
"advertised" as much and have fewer members. Hang in there and don't
get discouraged if your not answered right away, these lists will be a great
asset to our research after we reach the people and let them know that these
lists are available. I am encouraging everyone to send this email to their
surname and county mailing lists as well as to our cousins. Finally, If you
have the material to help a fellow researcher, please use it. Thanks, Kelly

Guidelines for posting to the lists:
Established 11 October 2000
EMAIL SUBJECT LINES:
COUNTY,YEAR,SURNAME
NO FLAMING or you will be unsubbed without notice. By this I mean not only
being rude or mean to each other but there will be NO and I do mean NO
debating here about the Census Projects. This list is for everyone who wants
to research.
NO General requests such as "all Smiths in all counties" Be specific, Name
the County, Family you are looking for and also the year. Try to supply as
much info as possible.
LIMIT your requests to ONE PER CENSUS YEAR and SURNAME
My Mama taught me that Thank you and Please are always nice too :)
A few people have emailed me asking how to sign up for the new lists and what
to do.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. All lists are
XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
The XX is to be removed and the two letter abbreviation for the state
you are looking in added in its place.
Examples:
MI-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
CA-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
IL-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
2. So, send an email to the one of your choice (make sure to have the state).
Put NOTHING in the subject line. In the body of the email write only:
subscribe
Then send it on :)
3. POSTING to the new census lists:
A. Send it to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L(a)rootsweb.com (supply the two letter state
code for the XX again)
B: Subject line MUST have the following:
County/Year/Surname
Example: Saginaw/1850/Smith
C: In the body of the email:
List whom you are looking for. Supply as much information as you can.

That's it folks :)
