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
I had my message returned from Chris' old e-mail address. He was in the
military and wrote in a few months ago. I need to verify a record that I
found in London. Please contact me. Thanks. Rebecca Clough Harpole

The government is trying no such thing. Phone companies have lobbied to

There is no "Bill 602P". (Bills don't have 'P's in them.)

This is the 1st time I have seen the Postal Service being concerned with
this issue. I believe this is one variant of a widespread rumor.

There is no such law firm in Vienna, VA. There also appears to be no lawyer
named Richard Stepp in VA.
I receive these types of e-mails every week. Usually they contain a link to
e-mail my representative with the urge to "send it to everyone you know."
When I 1st received such a warning, I did contact my representative. He
responded that the issue has come up in the past, but there was (Jan '99) no
such pending bill. He further stated that this may be a prank to clog the
e-mail of Congressmen. (If a prank, it has been very successful.) If not a
prank, it is a case of a rumor spread out of control.
Since I receive such a message every week stating "In 2 weeks, Congress will
vote . . ." am I supposed to believe Congress is voting on this EVERY other
week?
I realize Internet searches can reveal sites indicating this is a real
concern, such as those citing a recent CNN report. There are also sites that
will show that the CNN report was an error.
How many of you have heard from your ISP's on the matter? I suspect none.

Mormons Publish Huge Online Family History Archive
By Eric Auchard
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Family history research, which ranks among the
Internet's most popular activities, along with sports, finance and
entertainment, got a big boost Monday when the Mormon Church unveiled a
coveted online database of 400 million names.
The church, which encourages members to trace ancestors as a religious
obligation, plans to publish a total of 600 million names by year-end on
its new FamilySearch site (http://www.familysearch.org), spokesman
Richard Turley said.
The hundreds of millions of names of possible ancestors will draw from
the motherlode of genealogy data -- the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints' library in Salt Lake City -- and be available free of
charge for church members and nonmembers alike.
The huge database is part of the world's largest genealogical repository
-- the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, which boasts records of
more than 2 billion names.
``Now anybody can jump on the Web and start to find information about
their ancestors,'' said Dick Eastman, editor of Eastman's On-line
Newsletter based in Nashua, N.H., an independent review of online
genealogy resources.
``The world's largest archive is available at least at the catalog
level,'' he said.
In a statement, Church Elder D. Todd Christofferson, executive director
of the church's Family History Department, said the intent of the site
was to make family history research easier and more effective.
``This new genealogical search service will revolutionize the way people
trace their roots on the Web,'' he said. ``It has been an enormous
undertaking,'' he said of the church's three- decade-long project to
computerize ancestral records.
``We believe that family relationships can be eternal and by searching
out our ancestors, we can begin to better understand who we are and what
we may become,'' Christofferson said of the Mormon Church, which has 10.4
million members worldwide.
The FamilySearch site is church-subsidized. International Business
Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM - news) is hosting the Web site and supplying
the computer hardware necessary to operate it, said Turley, the Family
History Department's managing director.
The FamilySearch Internet Genealogy Service is set to debut after an
eight-week test demonstrated the site's popularity as word spread over
the Internet and caused the Web site to crash, forcing the church to
bolster computer capacity several times.
The service offers a search engine that hunts for specific names and ties
throughout the church's Ancestral File of 35 million names listed
according to pedigree. It culls links from its International Genealogical
Index of 360 million names from records in the United Kingdom, North
America and Finland.
FamilySearch.org also seeks out surnames among thousands of smaller
genealogical Web sites that have been evaluated by church volunteers and
catalogs research resources contained on more than 2 million rolls of
microfilm at the church library.
The site includes many collaborative features that allow Internet users
to share their research with others searching the same family lines.
Eastman, who is not a Mormon Church member, said the data was more
international than anything available to date online. But he noted that
genealogical research remains a confusing process of sifting through data
of varying accuracy.
Even after the church's massive contribution, available data are drawn
mostly from North America and the United Kingdom. The Mormons' records
offer expanded Central and South American names, but records from Asia
and Africa remain slim, he said.
FamilySearch.org aims to complement existing genealogy Web sites like
Ancestry.com, an Orem, Utah-based site at http://www.ancestry.com, with
databases of 240 million names, and Cyndi's List
(http://www.cyndislist.com) of Puyallup, Wash., which catalogs 41,700
Internet genealogy sites.
Beyond a massive collection of records at its Salt Lake City library, the
Mormon Church operates more than 3,400 Family History Centers worldwide
with links to the central library.

I have a brochure or some information on Bruton Parish Church if that would
help. From memory the description matches. I'll have to dig through the
archives. Let me know if you want me to take the plunge.. Rebecca Clough

Thank you all once again for your responses.
I will study them and get back to you soon. Must sit
with my family today as we
have dad going through surgery.

In answer to the question of Burton Parish Church. I know it isnt that
church. That is a brick church and there are no burial plots inside that
church. There are some very old burial plots right outside of the doors
though. I sent the request to my sister in law and I am waiting for a reply
on it. She doesnt always check her mail every day though so it might be a
few days. I will keep mentioning it to friends and family to see what they
can come up with. Oh , and, I used to work in Colonial Williamsburg and
have been to that church several times, and I can tell you that I did not see
any names that were remotely connected to Cluff/Clow/Clough. I am sure it
would have stood out to me if there were. jackie

Trish & Jackie and list,
A cousin is working with a researcher trying to locate
this church.
It would help greatly to know about the exact
location. Or distance to a
known landmark. Researcher is looking through the
whole area.
It could help speed up this process.
Or when the last time they visited this church.
Time changes everything.
Thanks
Lou Ann
Trish ,Catherine and Jackie,
Thanks for your responses.
Our family name is pronounced as Clue. But of course
that doesn't mean it always was that way.
And Trish I would love to know what information you
have on this grave when
ever you find the picture.
Any thing we can connect to would be a great help. We
are stumped on
our Hugh Wilson Clugh. No parents or sibs. Have
heard his father may be a John. And brothers may be
Eli, Thomas or John.
Lou Ann
One of our older Clugh family members remembered this
bit of history.
Can anyone help me identify this church or possible
family of this area?
The church (we seek) near Williamsburg, Va.
Smallish, white, with clapboard siding. Maroon carpet
and some bare wood floors.
The burial site is inside the church near the alter,
and the inscriptions
are cut (into the stones) in the floor. She can't
recall if any dates are inscribed, however. She does
recall the name inscribed was "Wilson Cl(?)ugh".
Lou Ann Clugh, (still no -o-) :-)
Hi:
Just getting rid of a few papers and came across two photos of headstones in a cemetery on Rte 1A somewhere between Boston and Portland, MÉ that my neighbor took on her trip last summer in New England. She couldn't remember what town it was in.
One stone reads:
U.O.C.C.
William Henry Cluff
1842-1911
Sarah - his wife
1841-1918
Woodbury G. their son
1873-1938
Another stone has engraved:
Martha D.
wife of William H. Cluff
Died Dec 11, 1866 at 19yrs. 6 mos.
If anyone wants a copy of the pictures, I'd be happy to scan them and send them on.
Jerry Cluff

Hi --
The message you submitted to this list (included above) wasn't
sent to the list subscribers. RootsWeb accepts only plain text
mail. That means that HTML mail, attachments, ``enriched text'',
and a few other formats can't be sent to RootsWeb mailing lists.
You can post your message if you send it in plain text; turn off
the ``Post in HTML'' or ``Enriched Text'' features of your mail
reader, or don't use any attachments. See
http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/listowners/html-off.htm for
instructions on turning off HTML in most of the popular mail
programs, or ask your ISP's technical support line for help.
We've had to institute this policy because of the problems that
accompany these fancy mail formats. Some people don't have mail
programs that are capable of processing the special file formats.
Even among those who do, different mail programs handle these
special formats in very different and confusing ways. HTML messages
pose special problems to our digested mailing lists. Most of all,
HTML-ified mail and attachments place a considerable burden on
RootsWeb's overworked machines. All in all, mail in this format
produces a lot of problems for RootsWeb's servers and subscribers,
so we find it's best just to use plain text.

Hello Family,
Well just to let you know, I have updated my website and if you go to
the genealogy map and click on New Hampshire, you will see my name
listed and who I am searching for along with my line. I couldn't tell
you before just how I wanted to work this until I got a chance to
check it out. If any members of the Clough-L would like to be listed
on the map please let me know and I will list you in the same way. I
only did this so as to maybe help out those that are searching and
make it easier to see how far apart we all are.
To check out my site, it is best viewed with IE 4 or better. Here is
the URL for the site.
http://adam.cheshire.net/~clipper/
Hope everyone has a good day.

Hello All,
Does anyone have an ancestor by the name of S. DeWitt Clough? I have
obtained a small book called "Backbone". It is a collection of quotes,
poems, etc., which are "Hints for the Prevention of Jelly-Spine
Curvature and Mental Squint. A Straight-Up Antidote for the Blues and a
Stright-Ahead Sure Cure for the Grouch" LOL It's really rather cute,
and I thought if anyone had this gentleman on their family tree, I'd be
happy share some of this with them. Or anyone that's interested of,
course! S. DeWitt Clough collected, arranged and published this in 1911
but it is the third edition. It's in quite delicate shape.
Anyway, enough :) If you know of anyone that would like to know more
about this, write anytime.
Hope you're all having a lovely week!
Jean
Hello,
It has been pointed out to me that I have made an error in my Clough tree
on my website at
<A HREF="http://members.aol.com/ElliottGen/clough.html">My Clough Genealogy
</A> . I have looked up the error in my sources and will correct it within
the next few days. It appears that I have confused Joshua and Joseph Clough.
Joseph Clough, b.1-16-1708/09, married Susanna Reeves, b.3-16-1712.
Joshua Clough, b. 1-16-1709, married Hannah Flanders
Sorry, if this caused any confusion. I'll get it sorted out!
Thanks! Gail Dreher
Hi,
I've just put my direct Clough lineage online, back to John and Jane. I
am descended from John, John, and Mercy(married John Elliot). The website is
here:
