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
I have tried both url's that shelly has sent and both work just fine with
IE 5.5. Perhaps the browser is the difference or the cookies.

GUIDELINES COMMITTEE WEEKLY REPORT,
for the week ending July 27, 2002
===
State Coordinator Guidelines: On July 27 the Committee ended discussion on
the
following proposed changes to the State Coordinator guidelines.
===
The USGenWeb Project logo:
The USGenWeb Project logo<http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/namelogo.html>
should be prominently displayed on the upper portion of the state home
page. Display of a logo developed for your state, if any, is
at the option of the state.
Periodic monitoring of pages of Local Coordinators:
State Coordinators should satisfy themselves that the pages of Local
Coordinators are complying with the USGenWeb Project requirements (logo,
queries, links, etc.). State Coordinators should verify that pages of
Local Coordinators are being maintained. This may be done by the State
Coordinator or a committee of Local Coordinators (appointees or
volunteers) and should be verified at least twice yearly. State
Coordinators should develop and disseminate information to all Local
Coordinators concerning the correct procedure to be followed before
abandonment of a website and/or disassociation from the USGenWeb Project.
===
The Committee will be discussing the following State Coordinator guidelines.
Public/county coordinator inquiries:
It is expected that all state coordinators respond to public and/or county
coordinator inquiries within a reasonable time. Follow up on any complaints
from the public regarding unresponsive county coordinators.
Required links:
The following links are required for all state pages:
Counties within the state
The USGenWeb Project - http://www.usgenweb.org or http://www.usgenweb.net
The USGenWeb Archives Project - http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb. An
optional link to the archives search option might also be included:
http://searches.rootsweb.com/usgwarch.html
A link to The USGenWeb Project's Guidelines/Standards for county websites,
including a link to the Official Project Name/Logo page.
The USGenWeb Project Copyright Information page.
WorldGenWeb Project - http://www.worldgenweb.org/
Recruit/startup help for county coordinators:
Include information on adopting available counties and help new
coordinators get their pages started. A committee of experienced county
coordinators could be formed for the purpose of aiding new coordinators.
Alternatively or in addition, a "help" page addressing the most frequent
problems encountered by new coordinators could be considered.

Excuse me if this has been posted recently.
I am cleaning out some files and thought I would pass this along for all the
counties bordering Lake Michigan and Superior.
The second one may be of particular interest to Tina, as the database
contains nearly 39,000 references to maritime-related articles that appeared
in the Door County Advocate (DCA) between 22 March 1862 and 29 December
1949.

One branch of my family came to port of New York from Valwig, Preussen, in
1842, after a 5 1/2 week trip across the Atlantic. Ships did not provide food,
only very bad water, so you brought your own dried meats, pickled/dried
veggies, cabbage and root veggies, wine, beer, boiled eggs, rice, salted fish,
etc., which the crew stole and sold back to you.
In an old family letter they describe first taking the Erie Canal boat to
Boston. The trunks were piled up on the deck. A friend traveling with them was
sitting atop them writing a letter home when the stack was smashed against a
low canal bridge and thrown into the water. He was killed and the trunks were
lost. The boat owner refused to stop as he had "business" to attend to.
Next they boarded a lake windjammer in Boston Harbor. The trip was arranged by
a WI real estate seller. The group was very puzzled that they had to board
quietly in the middle of the night and immediately set sail. Not knowing
English, they could not read the posted signs that said the ship had been
condemned and was not to be used.
This was early November and the male and female adults passengers on board
formed a continuous "bucket brigade" from the badly leaking hold at the bottom
of the ship, passing pails of cold water to the upper deck for tossing. This
went on day and night in shifts until they anchored at Bay Settlement in Brown
county WI. There they scrambled with their children into dories that came out
from shore. As they rode back to shore, they watched the ship sink in the
harbor behind them, with their few remaining possessions aboard. There was no
place to stay once they landed. Pine branches were cut and laid on the grown
under the trees for the exhausted people to sleep on that night.
In the morning the men went out in the dories, which they had to pay rent to
use, and began breaking up the ship and fishing out as much of the contents as
possible from the very cold and choppy waters. The wood was used to build a
"long house", Indian style, for the families to winter over in. By late winter
the men were clearing their land holdings in Pine Grove, Brown County, several
miles away. Amazingly only the man on the Canal Boat, one woman and her
newborn, and one child passed away during the trip.
The lakes trip had taken 16 days, the canal trip was about a week, from the
writing. The trip from New York to WI had taken them less than a month; and
what must have seemed a whole lifetime!
Hope this helps, come see the latest postings. Rita - Oconto County

Her ancestors arrived from the east a little earlier than mine, but mine
took the train to Iowa in 1865 and then by wagon to Pierce County. Only
took them 3 days to get from Pennsylvania to Iowa according to the obit of
one of the children.

Very nice group of people, but not mine I think, alas and alack,. If
it helps, bouffant hairstyle of the women, also white, short, semi
fitted sleeved, high, tight collared blouses worn "bunched" at the
belted waist, and long fitted several gore skirts, places this photo
at just after 1900 (still a little "Gibson Girl" look left from the
1890's, but toned down). The mens' small lapels, and high buttoned
sack coat, with small turned down collars also says the same.
Sometimes knowing the time frame of a photo helps with
identification. I've been studying! Neat and cool stuff.
