Since re-joining the Lincolnshire rootsweb List a couple of days ago I
have
received a substantial amount of mail concerning all kinds of genealogical
data and assistance given.
Since signing up with BlaenauGwent and Breconshire to search for Moses Owen
in Llanelly, there has not been single copy of anything to anybody in my
mail box.
Hi Rex,
You not only got your message back, you got an answer! Even if not the one
you wanted.
First, this is a very new list - it's only been going a few days, and
hasn't been particularly publicised yet. It's a long story, but basically
the main list covering Breconshire at present is the Powys list.
Powys-l-request(a)rootsweb.com is the subscription address. The list covers
Brecon together with Montgomeryshire, Radnorshire and also supports the
northern-west Gwynedd counties for the time being. It's been running 2 1/2
years.
It's too soon yet to tell how the individual county lists will co-exist
with the regional list - time will tell!
I'm not sure how the Blaenau Gwent list is getting on, I think it's now
covered by the Monmouthshire list. I don't know the subscription address
offhand, it's either Monmouth-l or Monmouthshire-l etc. Rootsweb doesn't
close lists down even if they become inactive.
Hope this helps,
Malcolm (listowner)
