(Sorry Jan, but I thought people might be able to use this info) There are numerous online sites that offer free email, but one of the most useful I've found is www.visto.com. Visto offers much more storage space, so if you are gone on vacation or whatever, and do want to receive your emails, you can do so. Course, you still have to deal with them when you return, but you can always delete them. In fact, you can use the Select All function to delete them all at once if you want. Visto has many other features. You can place files there that others can access via a password you provide. This could be used for gedcom files, or whatever. They offer 15MB of free space for your personal files, and 25MB for each group you create. You can create your own Message Board, upload photos, etc, etc. This is starting to sound like an ad for Visto, so I better clarify that I'm just an end user, and am not connected with Visto in any other way. I hope this helps someone! ~Ray Shoemaker >From: Bill Woodard <billwood@mail.utexas.edu> >To: AGS-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [AGS] Re: e-mail >Date: Thu, 15 Jun 2000 09:23:37 -0500 > >Hey folks, don't be too quick to condemn people for leaving the list.This >is vacation time of year, and many people are leaving for a couple of >weeks.

Please let go of this thread. People unsubscribe for various reasons.Many people subscribe only find the list is not what they want. The reason you are seeing this messages is because the person does not know how to unsubscribe(translate that to didn't read the message thet received upon subscribing), so they write to the list. When the list was being moderated you did not see those messages, as all messages came to me first and I redirected what was relevant to the list. I prefer to not have this list on moderated, it simply slows up the flow of mail to the subscribers. It is easier to unsubscribe someone who abuses the list and put them on the reject list. So don't worry about the unsubscribes and get on with your genealogy. Jan Davenport AGS List Administrator

Hey folks, don't be too quick to condemn people for leaving the list.This is vacation time of year, and many people are leaving for a couple of weeks. I am going to unsubscribe myself because I am going to be gone for awhile, Don't want to clutter up my mail box or my server with mail that won't be deleted. 5 or 6 hundred letters over a period is quite a task ( even digest mode may be overloaded ) when you return and you may be limited by your server to less than that. They may shut you down. Bill Woodard

You know, as long as everyone lists a subject in their message it only takes a minute each evening to "scan" all the messages.

I get a lot of Emails daily from this list but I wouldn't want to miss any of them as I always read hoping to find a connection to one of our families. On days I don't have time to read them all, I just let them hang there until I do. Keep up the good work. Thanks, Gladys Clark

I enjoy so very much reading this list. Sometimes it gives ideas of where else to look for information, lots of URL's for places with information and sometimes just interesting stories. We should be greatful for people who give us any information we need for free to find family, they really care about helping. It frustrates me when one has to pay for information that belongs to us all when we request it. Ann Linley Kloster

Does any one have the census or could look at one for SEARCYS CO.ARK1850. I looked at the Searcy 1850 Index and it listed Harness's 173 B and McAninch 165B seems like this is a popular census and the libarary is having trouble getting it . PLEASE keep the list as it is.I like the way everyone helps and the storys out of the papers. It would really be a great list if some one were a realtive to JOHN and MARY JANE TAYOLR HARNESS OR MIRON AND TELITHA WEAVER. THANKS and keep up the good list. Linda

Let me recommend Digest mode. You get a bunch of emails in one message. Have you tried that? Send your request to: AGS-D-request@rootsweb.com with subscribe and nothing else in the body of the message. Correct me moderator if that's wrong! M. Gillette

I don't know if I got this site from this list or not, but I recently ran across it in my favorites and gave it a try. Works pretty well and you can display a myriad of items, your choice. http://www.cast.uark.edu/local/mapper/ I did a county map, with soc, communities, all as my overlay, and I got a great map of the communities in Clark county including some no longer in existence.

I really enjoy this list, I have some list I'm on that if you get 1 message a month you're lucky. Then I had the one that in 1 hour I received 200 messages with pages of text each. Now that was the list to quit. I'm just sorry that people think when you get e-mail it is time to quit. Genealogy is something that you have to share, to find your ancestors.

HI Lynn, I think they meant they are getting too many emails all together from lots of different places so they don't have time to read all the ones they get - I am on 5 different mailing lists and sometimes have to just delete rather than read because I don't have time to read them all. And a question: I am looking for any one that has info on my great-great-grandfather, Edward Wilkinson HAMILTON 12-1-1804 - Charleston SC, d 11-28-1880. (He was a doctor) He died in Camden, but I think he possibly is buried in Richmond Arkansas, he did have a son living there, Edward Lynah HAMITLON, a doctor as well.

I'm like you Linda, I thought that was why we're here, to get information. I guess these people thought they would just get answers for their questions. Maybe they haven't found "delete". This is one of the best lists I subscribe to, with the most helpful people. Red Anthony

I do not understand. Why are so many people asking to be removed from the list because there is so many e-mails to go through? It seams that is all I see on one list or the other every night when I come on to check my mail. Is that not wht the list are for to be active and help each other out. What is the use of haveing one if it is not active?Are we going to have to slow down our work to keep the members on the list? I am fairly new at this so am I missing something here.Thanks Lynn l1326h@bscn.com

please remove me. I will subscribe again later. Too many emails to get through. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: AGS-D-request@rootsweb.com [mailto:AGS-D-request@rootsweb.com] Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2000 11:00 AM To: AGS-D@rootsweb.com Subject: AGS-D Digest V00 #258
