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
Later today I'll be sending out individual invitations to join the new
Coffey group. It's name is COFFEY-genealogy.
It should be a link you can click that will let you 'accept' the
invitation to join the new group. You may need to check your spam
folder as I can't say when such will be delivered.
Of course, folks may still post to this list through 3/1.

As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards
are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community.
Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered
account.
Hosted Sites and WorldConnect will continue to be up, running and maintained.
Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to
this community.

That said - is there any interest in setting up shop elsewhere? I've
seen 2-3 options but wanted to get some feedback from folks here.
