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
(This virus has been out for a few days so the below is just a reminder)

This site allows rootsweb mail list subscribers to register (globally) their old or new or changing email addresses. If you wish to
register there whenever you have a change of email address you can change it at this site and it will take care of changing the
email addresses to all the lists you subscribe to...........halleujah!

On many lists I am see a resurgence of some of the hoax'es that are continually perpetuated on our lists.
Three of the most used hoax'es are: sulfnbk (a warning to remove it from your system); jbgmgr.exe (another warning to remove from
your system) and the insertion of !0000 or AAAAA to your address book to prevent spreading of worm/trojan/virus.
If you would like information please visit your software manufacturer.
Even tho. rootsweb mail lists cannot transfer them many will confiscate your address book and mail to all addresses there.
Another thing to remember is that many of these can move themselves around in your hard drives(s) and may take awhile to rear its
ugly head.
Please keep your anti-virus software up to date.

The following is a WONDERFUL site, and would be most useful in researching
old documents!
Thanks to all involved in this!

Von Stachon recently transcribed about 600 court records, deeds and wills
for several counties in Virginia. She made images of many of the common
words found in these old documents, and has prepared a table showing the
image of the handwriting with the transcribed word. This table may be
found at:

Feel free to pass this link on in your mail lists, or use the link as you
