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 hope no-one gets angry but I thought this information would be useful
to everyone.
Anyone who has ever expressed their opinion with a letter to a newspaper
editor (or an elected official), should consider using e-mail and other
computer resources to accomplish the same goal. Instead of reaching one
politician or editor at a time through traditional letter writing,
e-mail allows you to send the same messages to dozens of places with the
same effort as sending a single written letter. Here are some useful
"do-it-yourself" resources:
The Electronic Activist. This site provides direct e-mail links to
every U.S. Senator, Member of Congress and even many local government
officials. Also included are many daily newspaper e-mail addresses
along with an extensive list of tips and campaign strategies for
activists. Internet address:
http://www.berkshire.net/~ifas/activist/index.html
Media Watchdog. This group monitors the mass media for bias and
provides an extensive collection of online media watch resources,
including specific media criticism articles and information about media
watch groups. The emphasis is on critiquing the accuracy and exposing
the biases of the mainstream media. Contents and links include:
Time-sensitive information and action alerts, media criticism
organizations and resources , media criticism articles, censorship
resources, other lists of resources, etc. I

Votelink. Through this home page, you can register to vote weekly on
various issues s
Votelink staff tallies these votes and sends the results to the news
media, Congress and the White House. There are also opportunities to
participate in electronic town meetings. Internet address:

Progressive Media Services. This is an private organization that helps
progressive groups get their message out to the media. Some of the
services include a database of media e-mail addresses, a research
service, ready-to-use press passes along with other useful resources.

Bill and Gayle,
Do you have the book "The Mayfields"? Is your line in the Mayfields or
Coffeys? James B. Mayfield was the son of William D. Mayfield and
Deniza Coffey. The book says only the information you already know. I
am trying to gather more information on Deniza Coffey and would happy to
exchange information.
Dee
Howdy folks,
Does anyone have any information about SARAH A. COFFEY, probably born in
the early to mid 1830's, possibly in Indiana? I have a SARAH A. COFFEY, wife
of JAMES B. MAYFIELD (b. 1834 Monroe Co., IN, d. cIowa). They were married
4-21-1853.
Is this the same SARAH A. COFFEY (b. 1-25-1830 Monroe Co., IN) who
married a man named LITTON in 1850?
Any help would be much appreciated... closest good genealogical library
is about 2 hours away.... so we've turned to the Net.
Bill & Gayle
Any links out there?
As you can see, I don't have much documentation on James & Margaret's
family.
Any help is appreciated.
