The last e-mail was scrambled up and confusing. So I copied and pasted it again. Bob Zins July 3, 2005 Indiana ancestors Vicktoria Hizer Following the Revolutionary War, thousands of British soldiers and German mercenaries who fought for the British remained in the United States and in Canada. They were classified as being discharged, captured as prisoners of war or as deserters. Author Clifford Neal Smith has become an authority on identifying immigrants of German origin. His work identifies thousands of individuals taken from the muster rolls in the British Record Office and the War Office. "British and German Deserters, Dischargees and Prisoners of War Who May Have Remained in Canada and the United States, 1774-1783 Part I and Part 2 and Deserters and Disbanded Soldiers From British, German and Loyalist Military Units in the South, 1782" is arranged by regiments and thereunder alphabetically by surnames. With each soldier's name is his status as a deserter, dischargee or prisoner of war. The date of action is included. Smith's further research indicates that dischargees, prisoners of war and deserters usually settled within a few miles of where their unit was stationed, captured or discharged.

Hi List, Please remember mentioning prices on books for sale is not acceptable on this list.. Mentioning books, where they can be found is one thing out and out advertisement is not allowed..

Hi List, Hi, What you are subscribed to is a mailing list. A mailing list is a group of people researching the same surname/ subject / or area of land, as the list's name. The email you send to the list goes out individually to each member of the list (including a copy back to you) from the server. We should email to the list address with who we are, whom / what we are trying to find and or what we would like to share with others. If like myself you have lots to offer then you state what you have and are willing to share. If you read an email that you can help with, then answer that email. Directly if you want to, but I ask that it be sent to the list so that all may share the information. (a copy is also stored in the archives.) If you find a website or anything that may help another member then send part of the info and the URL to the mailing list. When answering by reply to an email keep that subject in the subject line, but delete most of the first message so that it doesn't take up so much room. This keeps the messages together in the archives and uses less memory space. Change subject line when the body of the subject changes. Use subject lines accurately, in other words not just Help/need info but, a precise name and dates and place if you have it. A descriptive subject is much more likely to get a response as old timers sometimes wont read all emails and go by subject lines only. As long as the conversations between members of the list are about genealogy type things then by all means keep it on the list. But, if it is a private message, jokes..ect. then send it to the members private email address, not the list. List subjects should be kept on tract. When someone helps you, either privately or on the list let them know how much that help meant to you. Some times you can even let everybody know how helpful this person is by letting the list know. All of us need to be appreciated publicly once in a while. If you are offended by what someone has to say then still be courteous about your answer. Do not Flame anyone.. If you have a problem then bring it to the list's admin privately, for that is one of the jobs an administrator is supposed to do, be a moderator. The Administrator has the finale word about anything, except rootsweb.com policy which none will violate including the administrator. Even though we do not personally know each other, we are members of the same family, even if there is no connection by surname. For we are members of the family of genealogist, and it is by helping each other that we will keep our free study of our many varied histories. Also one other thing, before you send an email of someone elses to another party (person) have their permission. Rootsweb.com wants all of us to obey the copyright laws.. Items of concern for me the list manager Which will get you removed from the mailing list: These two items will get you removed or moderated. 1. Please remember that your use of RootsWeb's resources implicitly signifies agreement with RootsWeb's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Please read our usage policy at http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html. If you do not agree with these conditions, you must not use RootsWeb's resources. 2. Flaming other people via an email and the list. Items that will get you a message from me: 3. Please do not send VIRUS WARNINGS TO THE LIST.... SEND THEM TO ME... I will investigate and warn the list when/if needed. 4. Before... Sending an email that discusses something like you just finished your book on such and such subject and it is now available for sale the price and anything like that talk to me off list!! I will get back to you with-in 24 hours... ITEMS of exception: You may bring to the list's attention relevant items of interest you found listed at an online auction site or other resource. "In all such exceptions prices will be taken up privately between the parties involved, not on the list." I hope this explains what a mailing list is, what it is for and how to use it. Nelda List manager
Thank you Bob, I deleted part of what you said but left enough so you would know what I am talking about. Thank you for the resource, I have been looking for something that covers more than just one battle or regiment. BobZins@aol.com wrote: The last e-mail was scrambled up and confusing.
