A day I really didn't think would come has come.
Per the announcement below, Rootsweb is discontinuing all the mailing lists
as of Mar. 2, 2020. While we haven't had the activity lately as in the
early years, we have had lots of listers who contributed, shared, helped,
did lookups, and provided friendship. For me personally, I've been list
owner since I created the Colby list abt. 1998
I will miss you all.
Thank you all for your years of loyalty and support.
Ron
