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
Just giving Rootsweb a boost by sending this to my mailing lists. If
you haven't already submitted your GEDCOM to this project please do.
I have found it to be the most user-friendly way of getting my GEDCOM
online and it is definitely the easiest to update. I recently revised
mine and re-uploaded it in minutes.
Lets help Rootsweb reach their goal as outlined below. I think it's the
least we can do since they host our mailing list and other online
genealogical resources for us.
If you're not familiar with creating GEDCOMS I'd be only too glad to
help you just drop me a line, OK?
Take care

o WORLDCONNECT PROJECT SETS NEW GOAL OF 100 MILLION NAMES
UPLOADED BY 12/31/00. Given the success of WorldConnect to date,
we are announcing a new goal of making the WorldConnect Project
the largest and best repository of GEDCOMs on the planet, with
100 million names uploaded by the end of 2000. The WorldConnect
Project, in connecting genealogists so that they can help each
other, represents the essence of RootsWeb.
Almost 5,000 dedicated genealogists have uploaded GEDCOMs to the
WorldConnect Project. Some 380,000 people receive the RootsWeb
Review each week. According to MediaMetrix more than one million
people access the RootsWeb site each month. ANY of you who has a
family tree uploaded to ANY of the major genealogy software
packages (and almost all of the minor packages) can generate a
GEDCOM easily. Each day you delay in uploading your GEDCOM to
the WorldConnect Project is day that you may miss a breakthrough
in your research or fail to help another genealogist.
Upload your GEDCOM now. Remember that, unlike with other Web
sites, you can revise or remove your GEDCOM on RootsWeb at any
time and RootsWeb will never burn it onto a CD or charge others
to access it. There is no reason to wait. Search the names
already uploaded, upload your own GEDCOM, or find more detailed
answers to your questions regarding the WorldConnect Project at
<http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/>
ROOTSWEB ACCEPTS GEDCOMs ON REMOVABLE MEDIA. If you experience
difficulty uploading your GEDCOM for any reason, please feel
free to send it on a floppy, ZIP disk, or CD to RootsWeb
WorldConnect Project, 1001 Tower Way, #120, Bakersfield, CA
93309. We will upload it for you and send you notification by
e-mail of your account name and password. Please allow two weeks
for processing. Thereafter, you can change the viewing options
at any time.
