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,
This message is going to all my surname lists. If you receive it more
than once, please use your delete button.
I've decided that when I bring the Sunday Morning Coffee back that I
won't bring it to the lists anymore. It isn't that I don't think you're
worth it, ...I DO think you're worth it or I won't consider writing them
any more. :)
If you'd like to receive the Coffee again, starting sometime in
September, you'll need to sign up with the list I created two years ago
specifically for that purpose.
For those of you who've never received a Coffee: The Coffee is a free
newsletter (of sorts, I guess) that encompasses social history, how-to's
or just general topics geared toward genealogy, history, and/or
geography. There may even be a short story, again geared toward our love
of family history. No specific surname or region is discussed. It's
not a "reply to" list, and normally only one message per week will come
to you, that being the newsletter on Sunday morning.
If you wish to receive the Coffee just send an email to
<SundayCoffee-subscribe(a)topica.com>. A message will be sent to your
email address for the purpose of verifying your email addy. Also,
Topica will ask you to join Topica, but you don't really have to.
Questions? Please contact me offlist at <ladyaudris(a)earthlink.net>.

Hi everyone,
This month IS NOT about your individual lines...
For as many people in our ancestries as we've all found during our
research, there are many, many more that we've happened across that
don't belong in our own individual families. This month's challenge is
about those miscellaneous people that are sitting in a shoebox under the
bed, stuffed in a catch-all binder on a dusty shelf, molding in a desk
drawer with the thought that one day you just might connect with them,
but not yet. Great information for someone...
...just not not you.
The challenge: Post information about our surname lines that are NOT
yours. Even if all you have is an obit or a single census extraction,
that will count. The object is that the line isn't yours. Give as
complete information about the person/family as you can ~ particularly
regarding place and years.
For those of you who have a lot of data to share, please post the
material in separate messages. This is so the archives will pick it up
easier during a search.
Send your information directly to the list, please. I'm only one person
when, in fact, you want everyone to see it.
Happy challenge! :)
Colleen
