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
HI all!
I am a bit late getting this to the list but at least it is
getting out! I hope it is useful to you all.

The new search engine server is now online and can operate at the
speed of a full T1 connection.
Courtesy of hacks by Dale Schneider, you can search the USGenWeb
Archives, now with *headlines* and *updated* to within the last 24
hours, at:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ussearch.htm
Courtesy of hacks by Karen Isaacson, you can search the archives of
any mailing list (except those withdrawn by the listowner), now with
nicer *formats* and *updated* to within the last 24 hours, at:
http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl
I'd also like to explicitly thank the folks who provided the
resources that have made this new facility possible:
o RootsWeb's Patrons, Donors, Sponsors, and Members.
o Palladium Interactive, developers of the Ultimate
Family Tree software for genealogists.
Folks interested in helping RootsWeb provide new facilities can
become Members by using the Web form at:

By the way, the next server we'll be bringing online will be a box
dedicated to supporting Marc Nozell's HTMLized versions of the
mailing list archives. We should have that box online within 48
hours, though it's reasonable to expect Marc to need a little time
after that to get his software installed. (:
Projects after that include a dedicated IRC server, upgrading the
mail hub, upgrading the main Web server, building a NT-based
FrontPage server, bringing a "dirtylists" list server online, and
bringing a third ordinary list server online.
[ The "dirtylists" server is for the big, rarely used announcement
lists. We've developed a number of those things with 5,000 to
300,000 subscribers, and every time a post drops we kick the
daylights out of the list server with hundreds or even thousands of
bounces. We need a specially tuned box to handle these turkeys. ]
No rest for the wicked, I suppose ... Cheers, B.

Hi Nancy,
I don't have these names in my computer file, but believe that they
probably are the children of my 3rd great grandfather Henry (John) and
Elizabeth (ROBINSON) COFFMAN. I always have believed that Henry Coffman's
middle name is "John," because that name is so pervasive in Henry's
descendants. In fact, even my father's name is "John" G. Coffman.
But Henry's wife Elizabeth (b. 1782) would have been age 46 and 50,
respectively, when these two children were born--perhaps too old to have
been their Mother(?). However, the last two known kids of Henry and wife
Elizabeth were (according to some researchers) born in 1825 and 1830,
respectively, so the two children you list in your e-mail message would
fit in agewise. I must say, though, that the name "Wesley Dow" is
completely unknown in the Coffman family.
I guess we haven't solved anything, Nancy, but maybe further checking
will produce more definite information. I'll let you know if I come
across something in the records and would be interested in your comments
and discoveries also.

Seeking information on Catherine Coffman's parents. I do not have dates
nor places of her birth or death. She married Archibald Morrison who was a
soldier in the War of 1812, he was born 1771 probably in Augusta Co., Va.
and died Jan. 1, 1829 in Woodford Co., Ky. He was also married to Lucy Fox
and Mary Bain.
Archibald and Catherine had a daughter, Sarah "Sally" C. Morrison who was
born July 20, 1816, wife of Garland Harvey Withers, Sr.
Anxious to share and exchange information.
Thank you

I have begun researching the COFFMAN family of Henderson
County, Tennessee. I descend from Mary Ann Coffman,
daughter of David Coffman, Jefferson County, Tennessee.
Mary Ann Coffman was born March 2, 1789 - married Daniel J.
Meals, understand they moved to Limestone County, Alabama,
and do know both are buried at Coffman Cemetery, 8th
District, Henderson County, Tennessee. Would appreciate any
information on this family. I do have some information on
the Coffman family group that migrated to Henderson County,
Tennessee, that I would like to share.

William I think it would be great if you would transcribe a copy of David Coffman's will. I believe there is a David in our lineage. I'm sure others would benefit from this too.
Thanks for the offer.
