Twila, Rootsweb has a web page of guidelines for listowners and potential listowners. I haven't looked at it, but judging from the votes of confidence you've been receiving here, maybe you should. It's at http://www.rootsweb.com/~maillist/#listowning If any of you are still a little unsure of what Rootsweb really is, below is a brief synopsis from their weekly newsletter "Rootsweb Review". You can subscribe to the Review, as noted below. I've just noticed for the first time that in their instructions for subscribing to any mail list, it says to put "subscribe" (or "unsubscribe") in BOTH the subject line and the body of the message. This is a departure from the norm for mailing lists, and I wonder if this small detail is what is causing some folks problems with subscribing. +++++++++++++++ VIRTUAL DREAMS: WHAT IS ROOTSWEB? RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative (RootsWeb) is the oldest and largest genealogy resource on the Internet. Today it houses more than 2,650 genealogy Websites, including the USGenWeb Archives; ROOTS-L (in its 11th year) and more than 3,600 other mailing lists; and the Roots Surname List (in its 10th year). The June 1998 Roots Surname List contains 420,971 names from about 58,000 submitters. RootsWeb has two missions: (1) to make large volumes of data available to the online genealogical community at minimal cost; and (2) to provide support services to online genealogical activities such as Usenet newsgroup moderation, mailing list maintenance, and surname list generation. While all of RootsWeb's databases, mailing lists, and other activities are open to everyone, selected services (such as automatic notification when your surname appears in new material uploaded to RootsWeb) are available only to members and sponsors. Some services that are expensive to provide (such as personal Web space or Web serving of personal GEDCOM files) are available at a nominal cost to sponsors. The "cooperative" in RootsWeb's name means that we are a community-supported facility and your choice about joining has a direct impact on how fast RootsWeb can bring more resources online for the Internet genealogical community. By becoming a member, sponsor, donor, or patron, your support of RootsWeb helps to provide Web and FTP space to thousands of genealogical activities, mailing lists for thousands of groups of genealogists with shared interests, and search engines to make more than four billion bytes of genealogical data (the equivalent of two million printed pages) freely available to Internet genealogists. If you would like to help RootsWeb by becoming a member, sponsor, donor, or patron, please visit: <http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html> MAILING LISTS AND WEB SITES: To subscribe or unsubscribe from any RootsWeb mailing list, send an e-mail message with only the word SUBSCRIBE (or UNSUBSCRIBE) in the subject and the body of the message to [name of list]-L-request@rootsweb.com (for mail mode) or to [name of list]-D-request@rootsweb.com (for digest mode). If you have an automatic signature file, please be sure to turn it off before you send the request. For example, if you wish to be removed from this mailing list, send your UNSUBSCRIBE message to: Rootsweb-Review-L-request@rootsweb.com +++++++++++++++ Once again, I guess I should say that I am in no way affiliated with RootsWeb, and if y'all feel that we should go to some other list server, put it up for a vote. But since we are already established with RootsWeb, merely changing the listowner should entail nothing more than a couple of e-mails to Rootsweb, and if we change servers, we will all have to unsub from the old list and re-sub to the new one, like we had to do during the Maiser disaster. Personally, I'd rather not go through that again. I have written a note to Jen, asking if she would like to be relieved of listowner duties... oh, right, y'all saw that note, didn't you? :} I've not heard a response from her. Twila, why don't you take a look at the listowner guidelines mentioned above and see if you want to take on the job? Then give us a bump and tell us what you think. Of course anyone else interested in the job is encouraged to do so as well. Regards, y'all... Tom Tom Robison Ossian, Indiana tcrobi@adamswells.com Never forget the importance of history. To know nothing of what happened before you took your place on earth, is to remain a child forever. [unknown]

For those of you that are interested in establishing a mailing list that does not require an administrator, the following link will provide you that service! http://www.onelist.com/ This service is provided at no cost and each individual is responsible for subscribing and also for removal from the list.

Twila: What's involved in being a list owner? I might be interested, but I would like to know what I would be getting into first before I volunteer. I have been encouraging Pam MacRae to join the list, and it is disconcerting to me that she is having so much difficulty. Is there anything we can do? Who is the current list owner?

O.K. folks a decision needs to be made. Our list owner is apparently no longer interested in being involved in the Behymer list. Several people are having difficulties joining. I think we need someone who is willing to take an interest in keeping the mail list running smooothly. I don't know much about being a list owner, but would be willing to try. I have checked out the rootsweb site below. http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/how-to-subscribe.html There are several levels of lists available. I don't think we contributed anything in the past financially, which could be why our service isn't so good right now. Just a thought. I suggest we pay for our list services. According to the above site, $12 would cover the list costs for a year. $24 gives you a few more benefits including mail list ownership, whatever that means. Are there any thoughts on this matter? This is the second person in a week who couldn't get on our list. What should we do?

Dear John... On or about October 1st I tried to sign on to the Behymer maillist as you suggested. I went through the "double-click here, double-click there process" and sent my request. To date I have received nothing from that maillist. I know it is an active list, but why can't I seem to connect? Is there anything you can do? I am sending a cc: of this message to the Behymer list in hopes that someone can check to see if my "subscribe" has ever been received. I sent another request today. If there is a problem, whether on my end or yours, I would like to participate in the Behymer goings-on via the internet. Looking forward to hearing from your technical support people on the Behymer list. Thanks. Pam e-mail "p_macrae@yahoo.com" _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

Hi, Jen, Apparently some folks have been having trouble subscribing to the Behymer list, and have also had trouble contacting you for help. It seems a lot of folks didn't notice that your e-mail address had changed, and they're getting bounces from your old address. And of course, they're now crying to me, "jen is gone again", "where is Jen", etc. (E-mail is so simple if people would just pay attention) It does appear that your interest in the mailing list has waned somewhat. Would you prefer if someone else became the list manager? You've done well, especially during that madness when Maiser collapsed and you got us connected with Rootsweb. Don't think for a minute that I'm volunteering for the job. I just thought I'd sound you out and see if you'd prefer to be relieved of the task. Regards, Tom Tom Robison Ossian, Indiana tcrobi@adamswells.com Never forget the importance of history.

Thank you Sallye for your posting. It has helped me a great deal. Have been out of touch lately and will be again until after Nov. 5th but took a second to check my mail this evening.

MARRIAGES OF WHITE, WAYNE, RICHLAND COS, IL. JOHN'S middle name thought to be Lewis I believe you will need to do a 1860 and up census on Robert Gordon. or do a soundex census in 1880. Most of the information on this entire family was researched by a Ruth Burdge and Polly Harpster in the 1980's. Due to their age I doubt either one is alive today. I haven't heard from them since late 1980's. As to a Moses being a child, I do not know. It is most likely they had a child between 1832 and 1837, given to the fact Jane had a child every 2 years. Might have died in infancy tho. I would assume if that was true, it would have been in Ripley Co, IN. Incidently, since you have the names of the children of Robert and Ann Gordon, you can also do a census report on them say by 1865-70. Hope this gives you a bit more information to work on. Incidently, I would love to have what you have on Gordons. Sallye
