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
FYI :-)
MESSAGE FROM THE ROOTSWEB HOME OFFICE
by Jake Gehring, RootsWeb Executive Producer
Our message boards improvements continue this week. My comments
regard the search features in the new system.
Sometimes certain boards and the messages they contain have been
moved since they were initially indexed -- when you search and
try to view posts, you get an error message asking you to check
back in a few hours. In some cases this message lasts a lot
longer than expected. We're changing the error message and
working hard to fix the underlying problem. I'll report the
status of this issue next week.
Generally, however, we hope that you are impressed with the new
search features. The new system shows search results ranked by
relevance -- meaning that the system will display the best hits
first. For example, messages that contain all of your terms are
ranked higher than those that contain only some. Here are a
couple of additional search tips:
Wildcard Searching. The new message boards allow wildcard
searching as long as the user specifies at least the first three
characters in the word (i.e., users can search for "gehr*" to
find "gehring, gehrig, gehrke," etc.).
Search Operators. New functionality allows users to add powerful
operators to their search terms to affect results. These
operators, the plus and minus signs, are placed just before your
search terms and function like popular Internet search engines
Yahoo! and AltaVista.
If you put a plus (+) sign in front of any word, that word
*must* appear in a message for it to be a match. If there are
terms that you want to exclude (you don't want to see messages
in which these terms appear), you can place a minus sign (-) in
front of them.
For example, a search for "+gehring heinrich -baden" will return
only those hits that contain the word "gehring" but not the word
"baden", and in this group any messages containing "heinrich"
will be displayed before those that don't.
Try out these new search features next time you visit the boards.
Happy hunting!

Morning all :-)
If I've been quiet on the surnames lists in the last couple of weeks it's
'cos I've been working on my Bolsterstone pages and have just sent out the
first newsletter. below)
Mind you: it wouldn't be a bad idea if we had a roll-call ? We have quite a
few new subscribers who haven't yet posted their interests.
I've also spent hours trying to catch up with the changes at Rootsweb .. and
also having a look at the boards
Each of these surname lists has a corresponding board that, quite honestly,
I've never taken much notice of :-)
Have a look here:

Well: actually it's not a mailing list .. it's a read-only news letter ..
that means you can subscribe to it but you can't post queries to it .. just
for people interested in the village who would like updates about the
transcriptions etc.
