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
Some additions were made to the Wisconsin State Page:
The first 3 are "ideas" pages for county sites...
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/ideas1.html - These are based on the
GAGenWeb County Website ideas pages, and I thought they would be a neat
addition --especially for new CCs. This is a "living" document that I hope
to be updating often. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to send them.
Wisconsin Colleges & Universities
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigenweb/colleges.html - Although not
all-inclusive, this list should have the main/oldest universities and
colleges, listed by county.
I'm seeing now that the server that was down for a few days (that supported
a good 20 of the colleges) is up now, so those links will be restored this
evening. The URLs are listed, but are not clickable right now.

I had that happening to me too on one of the first counties I did - until I
found out how to limit it to just my county. To do so put in
http://www.rootsweb.com/~wigrant/index.htm (or whatever you main page's URL
is) - it will limit the search to the main page and all pages in the
account 'below' it and won't go wandering off to other counties/states.
I had left mine one level higher which go me in trouble when it took any
link from /~wirichla 's page and off down the rabbit run it went. Clear as
mud?
Hope this helps.

One of my personal pet peeves is to visit a site for my own research only to
find the host has not indexed their queries. The type of query organization
that defies comprehension is the one where they are divided up by the time
period in which the query was submitted (I visited just such a site last
week.) Navigating was frustrating because I had to open every page and do a
find on each of my surnames. Add to that coding errors that made some of the
links unusable.
I opened myself an account at picosearch but during the indexing, it started
going to rootsweb and adding URLs for other states and counties. Yikes! I
stopped the indexing when I realized what it was doing (that would have
eaten up my 1500 pages limit in a hurry). Can I go back in and delete URLs
that I don't want?

Nance,
Thanks for reminding me to plug PicoSearch - http://www.picosearch.com
Yes I like the Pico Search engine for the very simple reason that I can
control when the site gets indexed. I can index it now, add a bunch of
stuff to the site and immedidately go an index the site again - it takes
about 10 to 15 minutes or less depending on the site size. One can have up
to 1500 documents - .htm(l)s per site. It's free and very easy to use.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the note about this link. I went to your Richland Co. page to check
out the link and discovered another neat feature -- your "PicoSearch" engine.
It's just what I've been looking for! I haven't been able to get the Rootsweb
search engine (got the counties up and running too late), so when I saw this
one, I thought I'd check into it. It's great! I got one for both Burnett Co.
and Sawyer Co. today. Very easy to set up. Thanks for "sharing"!
Now I've got to get busy and write to Eric and tell him I linked to his Burnett
Co. list of pensioners.

============================================================
- netLibrary.com
For several years industry watchers have predicted that the
Internet would become the "Library of the Future." That is,
millions of books will become available online where you can read them
in the privacy of your own home or even on a portable handheld
electronic device. In the past few years several companies have
started on projects to make books available online. This week I had a
chance to use one of the biggest and apparently also one of the most
successful of the new online libraries.
netLibrary.com has complete texts of more than ten thousand books
available online today, and the company says it will be adding books
at the rate of 200 a day before long. The nifty part is that you can
quickly search the contents of these books for words or phrases. At a
traditional library you can search the card catalog looking for
titles, authors, or subjects. You can do all of that on
netLibrary.com, plus you can search for words in the text of each and
every book. The library offers free access to about 2,800 books in the
public domain. For a fee, users can also access thousands of
additional volumes still under copyright, both through the site and
through a growing number of academic and other libraries to which the
company sells the electronic versions. The process of digitizing the
books usually involves cutting the spine off each book and feeding the
pages through an electronic reader. netLibrary.com says that they are
a leader in the field because "there are not a lot of companies that
have been willing to devote the elbow grease to doing that." Like
traditional libraries containing printed books, netLibrary.com is very
sensitive to copyrights. Users of the Web site can "check out" an
entire book, giving the user exclusive access to that one volume for a
set period of time, usually about a day. Then the book is "returned to
the shelves" and becomes available for the next person. This concept
of a single "volume" allows netLibrary.com to operate under the same
laws that allow traditional libraries to lend printed books one at a
time. netLibrary has developed mechanisms for limiting the copying and
printing of eBooks from the Internet. Visitors can copy or print
single pages, just as people can photocopy single pages of a printed
book. However, if a user is rapidly viewing multiple pages of an eBook
-- a pattern that indicates the possibility of page- by-page printing
-- netLibrary will display a copyright notice and instruct the user to
cease his or her actions. If the pattern continues, the account
becomes disabled for a period of time, and the event is logged for
tracking purposes.
The netLibrary.com site is capable of handling 1 million users a day,
and the site's owners say that they can expand to handle 10 million,
if needed. netLibrary says it makes money from its operation primarily
from academic and other institutional customers. It also plans to
begin selling books, eventually allowing users to buy and then
download entire volumes.
Anyone can join the netLibrary for free. However, those on a free
membership will only be able to read the public domain books. In order
to access the much larger "Private Collection" containing copyrighted
materials, users will have to pay $29.95 (U.S. funds) annually.

Subject: Genealogy software comparisons
Although this doesn't have much to do with the California USGenWeb Project,
I thought I should mention a few Web pages I have created that compares
genealogy software programs. This is always a very popular topic at the
national conventions I lecture at so I felt I should let everyone in the
project know about them.
For a comparison of the major Windows based genealogy programs go to:

For examples of Web pages created by the major genealogy programs as well
as most of the shareware Web page creation programs go to:

I hope this information can be useful to some of you.

------------------
In 1882, Congress directed the Military Pension Office to prepare a listing
of individuals receiving pensions for prior war service. The Pension Office
produced a listing called "Pensioners on the Roll" as of January 1, 1883.
I have just transcribed the list of Military Pensioners that were residing
in Richalnd County on that date. This is in addition to Adams, Ashland,
Bayfield, Barron, Brown, Burnett, Iowa, La Crosse, Monroe, Trempealeau,
Vernon, and Washington Counties that I have done earlier.
Go to my home page at http://eric_borreson.tripod.com/ and scroll down to
the drop down box. Select the county and you will be taken to a page that
lists the names exactly as they were originally published.
Please let me know if you find this of any value.
