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
If any of you run across the name, Cicily Coats, or Sicily Coates,
Please post it. She was married in Rowan County N.C. in 1810, to William
Willis. I am searching for both of their parents. Thanks S.W.R.
Dear All:
As you all know, Rootsweb is under a major reconstruction
and upgrading program. New servers are being installed etc.
>From time to time, there are problems accessing various parts
of the sites. Here is the latest information from Tim Pierce as
of last night. It looks like another week or so to finally get it all
done. The lists that he refers to is primarily the mailing lists
but also some of the search engines etc.
Should be faster, better etc when it's all done.
There are more details posted on the Rootsweb home page.
Best Regards
John A Hansen
List Admin
