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

Surname: SHELL, PERKINS, COOPER
-------------------------
I am researching information on three Carter TN SHELL families: specifically
Alfred C. Shell; son of Alfred, Lenard Shell; and Daniel Shell. I have
some "old" letters, 1867 and 1894, which connect to these Shell families.
If you have any connection and/or information, please advise me. Thanks.

This COLBAUGH GenConnect/RootsWeb Query Board and the 6 other GenConnect
Boards listed on the COLBAUGH Resource Page at RootsWeb (click on link
of the upper left of this page) are "gatewayed" to the COLBAUGH Mail List
at RootsWeb. Meaning that any message posted to these 7 COLBAUGH GenConnect
Boards is automatically sent to the COLBAUGH mail list.
If you subscribe (free) to the COLBAUGH mail list, you will receive copies
of any posting to these 7 COLBAUGH GenConnect Boards in addition to any
posting to the COLBAUGH mail list itself.
I suggest that you subscribe to the COLBAUGH mail list in D - DIGEST mode
so that you will receive any postings within a 12 hour period as one E-Mail.
In L - mail mode, you would receive each posting as an individual E-Mail
- if someone were to post 12 obituary extractions and 3 people visited
on the list, you would receive 15 separate E-mails.
RootsWeb protects your E-Mail address and blocks all spam from the mail
lists. Im on about 15 mail lists and have never seen any spam get through
to the lists.

When you subscribe to the COOLBAUGH mail list, you will receive all postings

to the mail list and/or the GenConnect Boards are combined and sent to you
together as a single large message within 12 hours). There are twosteps.
First, send the command "unsubscribe" to COOLBAUGH-L-request(a)rootsweb.com to
discontinue mail mode.
Second, send the command "subscribe" to COOLBAUGH-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
to start receiving digests
The COOLBAUGH Resource page at RootsWeb has not been set up yet even though
it is listed. The overnight update may have to run before this address will
work:

Same with the COOLBAUGH mail list page that we will be able to use to search
and browse past messages:
http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/surname/c/coolbaugh.html
I will be moving some messages from the COLBAUGH GenConnect Boards to get
the COOLBAUGH GenConnect Boards started.
Spread the word, smash some brick walls, find new cousins - have Fun!

Hi listers,
RootsWeb developed a new feature for the mail lists a while back. I finally
took the time to read up on it so that I understood what they meant.
I have "gatewayed" all seven of the COLBAUGH GenConnect boards to the
COLBAUGH mail list. Meaning that any posting to any of the boards will be
forwarded to the list automatically.

If you signed up to the COLBAUGH mail list in "mail mode" (COLBAUGH-L), you
may want to CHANGE TO DIGEST MODE(any postings to the mail list and/or the
GenConnect Boards are combined and sent to you together as a single large
message within 12 hours). There are two steps.
First, send the command "unsubscribe" to COLBAUGH-L-request(a)rootsweb.com to
discontinue mail mode.
Second, send the command "subscribe" to COLBAUGH-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
to start receiving digests.
Or contact me and I will fix you up.
There were a few of you signed up for post notification on the individual
COLBAUGH GenConnect Boards. I took your names of those notification lists
so that you won't get everything in duplicate.
We won't miss a thing now :)

Dear Listers,
I have just received wonderful news on my Calbach brick wall. My g g grandmother Margaret Walker nee Calbach/Colbeck/Calveck came to South Australia in the early days of the colony and up till now I have been unable to find anything more about her origins.
Now I have found that her husband died at the age of 85 and therefore should have his place of birth on his death certificate... this was included by this time, and they were probably married before immigration..
I have sent away for this certificate, but in the meantime, I wonder if any fellow researchers can tell me about the origins of the name. Or if anyone has a Margaret Calbach b. abt 1836 as part of their family.
Cheers,
Sharon in Tasmania
Hi Listers,
This message was forwarded to the Carter County, TN mail list. I thought it

Subject: [TNCarter] Getting the Most from the List
This is great advice for all:
<< I thought I would share a success story that has proven to me once and
for all that there are both good and bad ways to request information on
mailing lists.
I have been lurking, posting, assisting (where possible) and generally
doing "all the usual things" that one does on a list. For a
considerable period of time I got absolutely minimal responses to my
postings requesting help with various individuals/families. Of course,
I blamed the other list members for not being sufficiently sympathetic
to my needs, but then I took a different tack and have had a tremendous
response as a result.
I am researching three forests, and when I look at the three ancestor
charts, I find I have 61 dead-ends. So, here's what I have done:
(1) Created a message for EACH terminating person.
(2) Made the subject line reflect that person with, in the format
SURNAME: Location (or Poss/Prob Location) and a year span (sometimes
quite wide (e.g. 1700 - 1800))
(3) Prepared an Outline Descendant Chart for THAT person - limiting it
usually to only 3 generations (sometimes more, depending upon size -
occasionally producing one that is "a little too long", but I try to
avoid this)
(4) Copy that chart into the body of the message, with as little
preamble as possible.
Consequently, listers can immediately see from the subject whether or
not the message is of interest; then, with minimal scrolling, can get to
the details that may or may not confirm their interest.
After getting very few responses, this new approach has meant that I
have an almost full-time job just answering the specific replies that I
receive. IT DEFINITELY WORKS FOR ME.
I could go on about meaningless subject lines, and padding messages with
all sorts of details about the people, but I don't want to sound as if I
am in some way "laying down the law". I want to be constructive, but
the simple fact that subjects such as: Posting interest, New to List,
My brick wall, Need help, etc., etc. just don't do the job. If someone
out there can help you, it is meaningless whether you are new to the
list or not. In short, "cut to the chase" and I am confident that the
results will be greatly improved.
If the descendant you are tracing has an interesting history, this can
be exchanged AFTER initial contact has been made with a respondent.
While it may be interesting we have to face the probability it is only
interesting to ourselves; and it could be the very reason that someone
who has the information you need fails to read far enough to get the
link.
Give it a go - it works for me.
And, now having broken one of my own rules about keeping it brief, I
shall sign off.
