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
Laura,
I've been giving this some thought, and finally reached the opinion
that it's perfectly normal to list available books from B&N that would be of
interest to researchers in Princess Anne, and include a link to a B&N
webpage. The introduction of monetary compensation DOES taint this
somewhat with a commercial flavor, regardless of who enjoys use of the
funds. VAGenWeb is not rootsweb.com, and rootsweb.com is not VAGenWeb.
I would be more comfortable without such an arrangement on any VAGenWeb
site. I'd recommend creating and linking to a personal webpage which
does the same thing.
I haven't "heard" any other opinions on this subject ... (| oo |)

`I wanted to see if it was kosher to put relevant
`genealogy/biography/historical book links to Barnes & Noble on the
`Princess Anne website and donate any commission monies to Rootsweb. I
`signed up for the affiliate program today, then I realized I better
`ask first. <g>

State Coordinators: Please forward this to your state lists!
- ------------------------------
I have noticed that several states and counties have started pages that deal
with unidentified photos and with memorabilia that has been located and they
cannot find the rightful heirs.
I have started a page for links to such sites for all counties and states
that have these pages.
I would like for anyone that has a site for these things to please contact
me so that I may add a link to YOUR site, whether it be State or County
level!
If you do not have such a site, you might want to think about creating one.
I have already had many submissions to my own, and requests for additional
ones in other states, but as I am not part of the states in question, I
would not want to be the one to have such sites for those states.
For examples of the unidentified photo pages see:
http://www2.crosswinds.net/~sdcounk/mystery.htm
For the memorabilia see:
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cogenweb/goldmine/goldmin.htm
To see the links pages :
Mystery Gallery Project (unidentified photos)
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cogenweb/mystery/index.htm
The Gold Mine Project: (memorabilia)
http://www.rootsweb.com/~cogenweb/goldmine/index.htm
I would also appreciate a link to these two projects pages.
Thank you,
Lynn
