Hi everyone,
I want to take a few minutes to let you know about a new feature to the
mailing lists.
Rootsweb recently added a feature to the GenConnect boards that links new
postings directly to the appropriate county mailing list. Currently Cathy
and I have enabled this feature for the query boards only, but depending on
response, may enable the other boards. For those of you that monitor the
query boards, this should turn out to be a time saver since you'll be
notified via email of all new postings and won't have to go to them directly
unless you want to post to it. If you see a posting that you wish to respond
to, you need to respond directly to the poster (not the list), or go to the
GenConnect board and respond there.
One concern Cathy and I share is the increase in emails you receive. In our
counties, you should see only a slight increase (it's been enabled for a
week already). If you are receiving these emails in the list mode, you have
the option of switching to the digest mode and have them combined with the
other postings. To do this, you must first unsubscribe from the list mode
and then subscribe to the digest mode. Please refer to:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~inhuntin/maillist.htm for help in switching modes.
This link provides instructions for both counties. If you have any questions
or problems with either of the mailing lists, please let me know. you can
also contact me or Cathy for county specific questions.
For those of you that research Huntington County, I will be in the
Huntington City-Township Library next Wednesday (4/12) for the entire day. I
will also be in the Bluffton Library on Thursday (4/13) the entire day. If
any of you would like to meet with me to discuss the Huntington pages,
please stop by and we'll chat.
Happy hunting.
