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
National Hdq. is located in Springfield, IL ay 629 South 7th Street, 62703.
Strangely enuff, the national hdq. of the DUV - Daughters of Union Veterans -
is also in Spfld - at 503 S. Walnut, 62707.
Both are primarily Museums now, with live-in caretakers. But - if you're in
central IL a great place to visit for an overview of the Civil War. Best to
write ahead, and be sure of their hours.

GAR is an acronym for the "Grand Army of the Republic". It was somewhat a
forerunner of the VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars. It was begun by Union
Veterans after the Civil War - the time depended upon the location. Mostly in
the 1880's.
It was a harmless association of ex-Union Veterans who gathered mostly to tell
war stories but, fear of it did span the KKK- Klu Klux Clan in Tennessee.
They no longer exist so you would not be able to currently contact them.
However, records should be in the State Archives for the State in which you are
interested. Information on the membership form included Age, County of Birth,
Unit in which served, current residence, etc. Sometimes the information can
prove useful for genealogical purposes depending upon how thoroughly the
ancestor filled out the membership forms.
Can someone tell me about GAR .. I know it is something to do with military
service.
These were a sign in a cemetery. If I am correct, how can I contact them to
get records on an ancestor??

In an effort to keep you aware of what's happening with Rootsweb
(This list is through them), I am forwarding this message on.
Thanks for looking this over!

Subject: RootsWeb in February -- 1,000,000+ Hits Per Day
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 1998 15:43:46 -0800
From: Brian Leverich <leverich(a)rootsweb.com>
This note is going to tell you that RootsWeb set a new
record level of service to the genealogical community last
month, but a more important message that I'd like to convey
first is just how important your support has been.
RootsWeb wouldn't be here without you.
In February, without your support we couldn't have purchased
a generator to keep the servers up during the El Nino storms,
a new search engine server for the USGenWeb and mailing list
archives, and a new server to host Cyndi Howells' Website
and the USGenWeb query systems.
Your continued support is essential to us: just to keep up
with demand, in the next few weeks we're going to have to
upgrade the main Web server, upgrade the mail hub server,
and start preparing to add a third list server.
All that costs money.
And beyond those inescapable upgrades, we really want to be
building a kitty for buying genealogical datasets and bringing
more new services online for the whole community.
If you can spread the word and help us find more Members,
Sponsors, and Donors, you'll be helping us keep up with demand
and bring new data and services online.
*** AND NOW FOR THE REPORT ***
February was an incredible month: El Nino storms repeatedly
caused us to lose power, and I wound up having to 4-wheel-
drive off the mountain in a snowstorm to find and buy a
generator to keep RootsWeb online.
Because of our batteries and our generator, we were down only
minutes even though the power was off for days.
Also, Cyndi Howells' Website moved to RootsWeb right in the
middle of the storms and the USGenWeb query system needed more
CPU cycles and bandwidth, so we added a server and load
balanced our T1 connections to the Internet right in the
midst of all the snowfalls and power outages.
We had about 11% absolute growth during just the month of
February, but that's deceptively low because February is a
short month. Our actual *daily* load increased about 20%:
o 29,372,613 Web files (27,751,946 in Jan) from 2,488
Websites (2,400 in Jan).
- 8,602,112 were HTML pages (not images or cgi-bin)
(8,308,561 in Jan).
- 3,446,096 were cgi-bin database searches and such.
(3,574,701 in Jan).
- 17,248,967 were GIFs (15,850,655) or JPEGs (1,398,312)
(15,784,790 in Jan were GIFs (14,529,204) or JPEGs
(1,255,586).
o 644,950 FTP file downloads from the USGenWeb
Archives and the ROOTS-L Library (618,762 in Jan).
o Thanks to a neat hack by Tim Pierce, we know we
shipped about 82,150,000 pieces of mail
(88,649,000 in Jan) pieces of mail to the
3,050+ (2,600 in Jan) mailing lists we host.
(The 82 million is probably low; we had to
archive a significant amount of mail before the
count because of a disk space crunch on one of
the mail servers ... )
o 60,000 alt.g and s.g.* Usenet News articles
to hosts on three continents (same as Jan).
o Approximately 505,361,000,000 bytes in total
(451,786,000,000 in Jan).
And that's what RootsWeb did in February. Let me thank you once
again for supporting RootsWeb -- none of this would be available
to the community without your help, and your continuing support
can help us grow and provide even more service to the community.
Thank you, B.

Teri and list,
I received this today and am at a loss as to wether there is any other
information about these Darby's that I don't have. What I have on my
page comes from the Cleveland genealogy so perhaps there is different
information out there. If so could someone let me know so I can help
this other person.
Thank You,
Kathy

I am looking for descendents of Orrison CLEVELAND who settled in Ohio. Wife
name unknown. Two of the children were Lovisa, born 1817, and Orrison.
Lovisa married Henry SMITH. Any help would be appreciated.
Looking for Orrison Cleveland who settled in Ashtabula Co. Ohio. I believe he
was born in NY. Had children Lovisa born 1817 and Orrison both born in NY.
Dear list members:
I am seeing another round of advertising showing up on some lists.
Not knowing enough about how they they it, I can't explain, but
people / companies are managing to post messages to list that make it
look like the list sent out advertising
PLEASE, don't respond to the advertising in any way, just delete it.
By responding, the advertiser picks up your address and you then
"reap" more junk mail than you can handle.
Our lists are open lists at this time, so we may be hit also and I
wanted to warn you ahead of time.
Thanks for taking the time to read this

Moses Clevelandb. 2/2/1624 St. Stephens, Ipswich,

I didn't see this come on the list so will forward it on. I haven't
gotten to my email all day, so I am really behind. Can anyone help
on the founding of Cleveland, OH??
I just live here<G> (In Ohio, not Cleaveland)
There was a picture of the sculpture/statue of General Moses
Cleaveland on the web at http://www.sculpturecenter.org. I'll bet
it's not there now, but it was! The date on the statue says 1796.
It was created in 1888. The artist was james G. C. Hamilton
