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
Hello Listmembers:
My name is Debbie and I am the listowner of another mailing list and have
already received the permission of your list owner to post this.
The other mailing list, also hosted by Rootsweb is the Kentuckiana-L list.
It is a list for the research of persons relating to southern IN and
northern KY. The actual topic for the list is:
Topic: anyone with a genealogical, historical, or cultural interest in the
Indiana counties of Clark, Crawford, Dubois, Floyd, Harrison, Orange, Perry,
Scott and Washington and the Kentucky counties of Breckinridge, Hardin,
Jefferson and Meade. Any discussions having to do with the families in this
area, including how they lived, worked, are welcome.
I am announcing this on this list as it is only advertised on the KY mailing
lists for Rootsweb and I feel there are a number of researchers in the IN
area who may also benefit from it and would otherwise not know of its
existence.
If you are interested in subscribing to this list please send mail to
KENTUCKIANA-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
with only the word subscribe in the body of the message.
Thanks so very much for your time and I am hoping to help some people with
this news.
Debbie Jennings
