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
There is a migrations page for the VAGenWeb site and Linda Lewis is the
person who maintains it. I just had the links for Hanover and King William
counties added to it. Also the new guestbook that RootsWeb has added, work
great for managing the migration information on a county site. It allows the
visitor to add the information on line and automates the process. Some of
the Virginia county sites are using the guestbook on the migration page,
this beats using mailmerge or using email and then manually updating a
migration page. If you are looking for a easy way to add a migration page to
your county site, the new RootsWeb guestbook is the answer.
If anyone has questions on setting up a migration page using the guestbook,
I will be willing to help.

The Pennsylvania USGenWeb has started a migrations page to document the
movement of families in and out of counties. It works like a surname list.
Their url is http://www.usgennet.org/~migrpaus/ if you would like to visit
it. I was wondering if we can start a page like that for Virginia?

The VA county map was never clickable. I don't know how to do that. ;)

The link works fine in Netscape 3. Also with Lynx 2.7.1
The problem may have to do with the problems Rootsweb was having recently.
Don't remember the clickable map. Remember talk about it.

Does anyone use NetScape V3.0? or have any idea what might be causing this
guy's problem.
Anyone have memory of being able to navigate by clicking on a map?
Thanks,

Many, if not most, of the county pages still have my old delphi.com
email address referenced in connection with the "Unknown County"
QueryPage and/or the VA Surname Register.
PLEASE change those right away, as that address is going to stop
working RSN.
Thanks,

I checked out Alley's Shenandoah page and her use of the guest book. Decided
to try it for the Charlotte page. The link is still the same:
<http://www.rootsweb.com/~vacharlo/hither.htm>http://www.rootsweb.com/~vach
arlo/hither.htm
I liked it as it lends itself to documentation and explanation. If all goes
well, I plan to implement it on the Mecklenburg page. If any of you can check
it out, foresee any problems or changes that need to be made, let me know.
Thanks

If any of you have added Migration pages to your county sites, let me
know so I can add it to the VAGenWeb County Migration page.

Alley Blackford, of Shenandoah County, reminded me when she asked me to
add link to hers. She is using the new free guestbook feature at
Rootsweb:

Hi All,
If you haven't seen it yet, take a look at the new national site on
Newspaper Abstracts at:
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~newspapr/
It is barely a month old, but I got excited when I found we have a very
active contributor in Sonoma County, CA (my home base). No Virginia
entries as yet, but if any of you know of existing material that belongs
here, or want to volunteer to work on this project, I think it has a lot of
promise.
The person who set it up is:
Barbara Freeman
Newspaper-Abstracts
http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~newspapr
Give her a helping hand in you home territory if you can.
