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
Hi All,
I have noted on several occasions lately that the names and details of
living persons have been mentioned on the lists.
In some cases this has been by people who are obviously new to genealogy.
Can I remind people that details of people who are, or might be, still
alive should not be posted to Rootsweb lists. In part this is to protect
their privacy, but also their security - the list archives are publicly
accessible.
Some lists operate a "hundred year" rule similar to that of census
information. I don't plan to go that far, but would ask list members to
exercise some discretion in this matter.
Obviously this does not apply to email addresses of other researchers, but
even so contact details are best exchanged in private rather than public
correspondence.
Thanks for your cooperation,
Cheers,
Malcolm
