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
One of my board members on the genealogy side wants to know if it is
possible to use Paypal on our web site. I didn't have a clue where to go for
the answer so thought I would start with you. Any ideas? We have our list
of publications on the society pages. Thanks, Donna

The wording on these is so awkward that they don't even sound like bylaws. They sound like reactions to something, and that's exactly what they are. Just my opinion.

Hi all,
Since I have received various comments .. on and off
list. WIGenWeb Project will vote on co-sponsoring this
amendment to the USGenWeb Project Bylaws.
Lori Thorton and I will receive votes beginning
January 20, 2005, continuing through January 27, 2005
6PM (est)
Please send vote to me tsvickery(a)adelphia.net *and* Lori
lorithornton(a)gmail.com
Majority of those voting determines co-sponsorship.
The amendment is presented below.
---
ARGenWeb is sponsoring the following amendment to the
USGenWeb bylaws and invites you to join us as a co-
sponsor. Please notify me if your state wishes to be
listed as a co-sponsor.
Thank you for your consideration!
Betsy Mills
ARGenWeb State Coordinator
---
Due to the division of the USGenWeb Census Project and
the failure of several mediation attempts, it has
become a problem for the USGenWeb Project Advisory
Board to seat a Census Project Representative as
required by the USGenWeb Project bylaws. In addition,
the Special Projects represent a smaller portion of
the membership of the USGenWeb Project and should not
have a greater representation than the State and Local
Coordinators on the Advisory Board. Therefore, it is
our intent to request that the USGenWeb Project
declare these amendments to be an urgent matter and to
further request that the matter be placed before the
membership as soon as possible. We would ask that all
the Special Project Representative positions currently
on the Advisory Board be eliminated at the end of
their regular term, with the one Special Project
Representative to take his/her place on the USGenWeb
Project Advisory Board effective September 1, 2005.
These amendments are being co-sponsored by (list of
states' names). These states join the ARGenWeb Project
and respectfully request that this matter be
considered "urgent" so that this may be placed before
the membership as soon as possible rather than waiting
for the regular election period.
Current Article:
ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the
National Coordinator, four (4) State Coordinator
Regional Representatives, eight (8) Local Coordinator
Regional Representatives, one (1) representative each
from The USGenWeb Archives Project, The USGenWeb
Census Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project,
and beginning in 1999, one (1) at-large
representative. All shall have voting privileges
except the National Coordinator who shall vote only in
the case of a tie. The regions from which State
Coordinator and Local Coordinator Representatives are
elected shall be decided by the Advisory Board on an
annual basis.
Strike "one (1) representative each from The USGenWeb
Archives Project, The USGenWeb Census Project, and The
USGenWeb Tombstone Project," and replace with "one (1)
Special Projects representative elected by members of
The USGenWeb Archives Project, The USGenWeb Census
Project, and The USGenWeb Tombstone Project" . . .
The amended article will then read:
ARTICLE V. COMPOSITION OF ADVISORY BOARD
The Advisory Board membership shall consist of: the
National Coordinator, four (4) State Coordinator
Regional Representatives, eight (8) Local Coordinator
Regional Representatives, one (1) Special Projects
representative elected by members of the special
projects, and one (1) at-large representative. All
shall have voting privileges except the National
Coordinator who shall vote only in the case of a tie.
The regions from which State Coordinator and Local
Coordinator Representatives are elected shall be
decided by the Advisory Board on an annual basis.
In addition, the Section 3 of Article XIII regarding
Special Projects would need to be amended:
Current article:
ARTICLE XIII. SPECIAL PROJECTS
Section 3. The staff members of The USGenWeb Archives
Project, The USGenWeb Census Project, and The USGenWeb
Tombstone Project shall each elect one Special Project
Representative to serve as a voting member of The
USGenWeb Project Advisory Board.
This amended section would read:
Section 3. The staff members of any special projects
(as defined in Section 1) shall elect one Special
Project Representative to serve as a voting member of
The USGenWeb Project Advisory Board.

Per Joan's suggestion, I did some searching on Ancestry. There are Shur's in the BMD indexes for Octonto, Racine, Milwaukee & Washington Co.'s and there are Shur's in the 1900 Federal Census for Waukesha Co. No Elsie, Elizabeth or John though. There is a John in the WWI Draft Registration cards born in 1877 in Janesville, Rock Co., but he does not appear to be there in 1920 census, at least not with that spelling.
