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 Amber,
I looked up your name for you but was unable to find it. Perhaps if you
could give me her father's name I may be able to find something. Let me
know,

Hi Elva,
Just going over the notes you sent me and have a question. You have
Elmer being born in Irish Grove Twp., Menard, Il.. Yet in my books it
shows a sister being born in 1870 in Elmira, New York. Also the book
makes reference to William being from Elmira, and was in Ashland, New
York in 1883-1884. Do you have a source for your information? I have no
war records on William, and I don't have any record of his wife Mary,
remarrying, she signed a deed as Mary Cleveland on May 25, 1790, so it
would have been after that date.
Also are you the daughter of Donald Shipley? You gave no history of
yourself or your immediate family.
Thats all for now,
Kathy

Seeking information on family of Mary Frances "Fannie" CLEVELAND who was born 23 January 1862 in Mississippi and died 30 January 1918 in Franklin County, GA. She married James A. "Sug" PIERCE on 14 Dec. 1882 in Elbert/Franklin County, GA. Their children: Maymie, John Mack, Charles Arthur, Robert, Bernice, and Maggie Zeola who married George Bynum BROWN. Thanks, Dawn Brasfield.
Dick, I just HAVE to send you a note on the reference you gave to the LOC
photo archives on line. I found photos of four of the ships my (still
living) Dad served on during and after the first World War; I'm sure he
will be very pleased at receiving copies - and they'll make a nice addition
to our family genealogy.
Thanks again!
Dick

Want to obtain U.S. historical pictures at no charge? Look at the
Library of Congress Web site. This Web site apparently has
thousands of online images available from all over the United
States. The Library has more than 25,000 pictures in its
collection, but the Web site never mentioned if all of them were
online or not. You can search the Library of Congress' collection

I went to she site and queried "ship" - there were 1420 "hits," which
are returned in groups of 20. Did not do any "refined queries, but with
over 1400 pictures, this should be a helpful resource.
(No "Ships" website this week, as I had a family celebration to attend.)

Hi -
The prebuilt VArServer 3000 we have on order from VA Research will
cost us $13,500.
That server is planned to be used as the upgrade to the current
www.rootsweb.com server. The old www.rootsweb.com will replace the
current mailhub.rootsweb.com, which in turn will become a dedicated
DNS/MX server: nothing ever goes to waste at RootsWeb. (:
The handbuilt search engine server, which is slightly larger/faster
than the VArServer 3000, has cost us about:
Server case & heavy duty power supply $ 500.00
Motherboard $ 500.00
Pentium Pro 200 CPUs w 512KB caches[2] $ 1,000.00
128 MB EDO SIMMs[8] $ 3,200.00
RAID-5 caching disk controller $ 1,800.00
Seagate Barracuda 9 GB ultrawide SCSI drives[5] $ 4,500.00
Tape backup $ 500.00
IDE 4GB system drive $ 200.00
3COM 3C900 100Mb ethernet adapter $ 100.00
Video board $ 100.00
CDROM drive $ 100.00
Keyboard & mouse $ 100.00
Misc cables, mounting brackets, & such $ 100.00
----------
$12,700.00
Any contribution you can make would, of course, be much appreciated.
BTW, and folks don't often realize this, it really is *much* more a
matter of money than my time because money can easily substitute for
my time. VA Research servers cost about 15-20% more than the
machines I can handbuild, but buying preconfigured machines saves
oodles of my time. If RootsWeb ran at less of a loss, we'd always
be buying prebuilt servers and using my time that was freed up to do
more useful things like getting whizzier cgi-bin tools set up for
the Webmasters and Listowners. Cheers, B.

------------------
I made it off The Hill and bought a generator, and it's now
installed at our PMC network operations center.
[ The trip was kinda exciting, including some of that impromptu
tail-before-hood driving that veteran winter drivers find intensely
embarrassing. But I didn't mind up in any snowbanks I couldn't
get myself out of ... (: ]
For those who have been wondering *where* Pine Mountain Club is,
it's suburban Frazier Park (if you call a microscopic town twenty
miles west of a tiny town a "suburb" (: ). Perhaps more usefully,
PMC is about 90 miles north and more than a mile above Los Angeles.
The climate up here is almost always breathtakingly wonderful, but
every once in the while we have a really interesting winter storm.
Like right now.
As it happens, SoCal Edison has been doing their usual outstanding
job of maintaining their power grid (these folks really are one of
the best utilities in America) and they have people climbing all
over the mountain right now.
Between their efforts, our batteries, and the new generator, we've
had only about 5 minutes of downtime on our nameserver while we cut
in the generator and about 60 minutes of downtime on our secondary
mailserver as we let it clean out its queues before the power
cutover. We've had -0- down time on our routers, the Web server,
the search engine server, and the main list server.
We anticipate no further downs exceeding five minutes for the
duration of the storm.
The new generator isn't exactly a panacea -- the best I could come
up with is a (relatively) little gasoline generator, so one of us
has to sleep down at the NOC and feed the thing periodically. We'll
be saving up towards buying an autostarting propane generator, and
the folks who share the NOC (RootsWeb, Frazier Mountain Internet
Service, ICA, and Earthlink) intend to get the commercial-grade
generator installed before the next winter season.
I'm going to catch a few ZZZs now in case I wind up having to stand
a shift on the generator. My apologies to everyone; for the obvious
reasons, we haven't made much progress for the last couple of days
(and probably won't for a bit yet) on new accounts and the other
chores.
Anyway, we didn't go down and now, with the generator, we won't.
Have fun using RootsWeb, B.

Hi all -
I just wanted to remind everyone that State and County Coordinators
(and WorldGenWeb Webmasters, too) are welcome to request RootsWeb
mailing lists for their areas.
You don't need to be a RootsWeb Sponsor to do this. (Though we
always appreciate the support! (: )
And RootsWeb will host your list, even if your Website is on some
other server.
Just request the list using the Web form at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/members/listrequest.html
If you're thinking about hosting a list, now would be a good time to
request it. We routinely create area lists for any of our Sponsors
who request them, so if you don't request your list(s) first then
it's perfectly possible that someone else will wind up hosting them.
Feel free to repost this message to other lists where it would be on
topic. Cheers, B.
