I received this today from Bernard Louis MILES III (Lou). I am taking the liberty of forwarding it on to our BROYLES List. Maybe some of you have data on the GOTCHER-BROYLES line. Bernard's email address is: [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- My GOTCHER line goes to William GOTCHER b. August 1765 in VA and Mary BROYLES b. 1777 in VA. Would like to get a GEDCOM of any GOTCHER and BROYLES information. Just need to know how to get it downloaded into my Family Origins 5.0a. Thanks to all those who've gone before and done the research. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- Hope you can help him, George

Terry, nothing wrong with your post. Identifying the persons that you are researching may get you some replies. Heck, your post was nothing -- I've seen some on other Lists that took forever to download. Some people even send Gedcom files as part of the body of their messages, rather than send as attachments.

Just a note to everyone. It makes your messages much easier to read if you put SURNAME's in CAPITAL letters. This is the accepted practice for Net messages concerning genealogy. Also, in the Subject: header, identify persons you are researching. Subjects such as "Surname Search", "Looking for Ancestors", etc. just don't help very much, whereas Subjects such as "SMITH, James C. >VA-1782>TN-1815" or "SMITH, JONES, & BROWN >VA & TN", etc., are very helpful. Thanks, George

Sorry, I didn't mean to send that whole long outline on my previous letter. I was only using it to create my letter. I don't think I am supposed to send something that extensive on this new list. I pushed the "send" button too fast. Please excuse. Terry Mee

I would love to hear from any descendants of Rosina BROYLES & Adam Carter GANN, Jr., particulary (not only) any of the California emigrant descendants. Many GANNS came to California between 1847 and 1861. I am descended from : Direct Descendants of William Gann, son of the above, born in Tennessee in 1792. He didn't make it to California, died in Lafayette Co., MO, but his widow and most of his descendants did. My wave came in 1854 to San Joaquin Co., East of Stockton, CA. Other names of these Calif. ancestors or cousins are ABBEY, HARLESS, HORN, FRESHOUR, MALLARD, MILLER, DIDDLE, DUNCAN, RUDDICK, CLARK, BANNER, BEERY, SMITH & others much more recent. I have lots of information on this branch that I would love to share but am always looking for more.

TO: Subscribers to all my Lists and to those who have voluntarily offered to contribute. ============================================== Ever since the "crash" of the MAISER server at Indiana Univ., I have had many messages offering to donate to RootsWeb in order to keep our Lists going. I'm happy to say that Larry at MAISER was able to negotiate a deal with RootsWeb, whereby all our Lists were transferred to RootsWeb, AT NO COST TO ANY OF US LISTOWNERS OR SUBSCRIBERS. Before the "crash", RootsWeb required a $24/year donation in order to have 2 Lists hosted. Since I have 10 lists, that would have meant $120/year for me to maintain these 10 Lists, and it's just something I do voluntarily. Most subscribers were aware of this and that was the reason they generously offered to help out. Now, since RootsWeb is doing it gratis, it won't cost me or you a single cent. Isn't that nice! I'm not asking, nor requiring, nor suggesting, nor even hinting, but if you still feel so inclined, I'm sure RootsWeb would wel- come your contributions. I've had some offer to pay the $24 in order to keep one List or another running, even had one generous soul offer to send in $48. Some have said they would pay $5 or $10, some have even suggested that $5 per month wouldn't be to heavy a price to pay to keep certain Lists going. So, if you like the "new" List and want to help out, I'm providing the snail mail address of RootsWeb below. You can send in any contributions to this address. The good-hearted folks at RootsWeb went out and bought a brand-new additional system, just to be able to accept all these Lists. They haven't asked for one red cent! Want to help out? Send a dollar or two to them. They'll appreciate it. If you really want to do it up right, send in a $24 contribution and you'll have all the privileges of using ROOTS-L at their site. Again, if you previously offered to contribute, now is the time to do so. If you didn't make such an offer, think about it. If you do decide to contribute, make out your check or money order to: RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative and send to the address below. Be sure to attach a note, telling the nice people what List(s) you belong to and how much you appreciate all they have done. RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative P.O. Box 6798 Frazier Park, CA 93222-6798 "Sgt" George

OK folks, it has been changed !!!!! Now, when you click on "reply", the TO: header has the List address, instead of the address of the sender of the message. At least, for "most" email programs. It works fine with Eudora Pro and Agent 1.0 (and FreeAgent). Check out your email reader and make sure it works with it. It's back to the way it was at MAISER. Let's get some email traffic going on these List now !!!!! All my Lists are up and working at RootsWeb. See you on the List. "Sgt" George

KEEP THIS MESSAGE !!!!! ==================== DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE !!!!! ============================= SAVE FOR FUTURE REFERENCE ON SUBSCRIBING & UNSUBSCRIBING !!!!! =============================== The BROYLES Discussion List has finally been moved to the RootsWeb server !!!!! There are several things that you, as a subscriber, should know: 1) Subscribing and unsubscribing are done differently than the way it was done on MAISER. Please read the Welcome Message below for particulars. 2) There will be some people receiving this, and other mail, from the List, even though they have unsubscribed lately. The reason for this is that the old subscription lists were sent from MAISER to RootsWeb without any input from us ListOwners. I had removed some subscribers here on the temporary List I had set up on my home system, but had no way to remove them from the list that went to RootsWeb. Sorry for this -- you will just have to unsubscribe again using the instructions below. 3) When you click on "reply", the address in the TO: header will be the address of the sender of the message. For now, you will have to replace it with: [email protected] I am working on getting the List changed so that when you click on "reply", the address in the TO: header will be the above BROYLES List address. Once this is changed, all mail you send will automatically come back to the List. Of course, if you wish to send a private email to the sender, make sure his/her address is in the TO: header. 4) If, when RootsWeb delivers the mail, it encounters problems delivering to any particular email address, I get a "bounced" notification. This is usually caused by one of the following: Mailbox Full, No Such User, No Such Email Address, Temp- orary Failure, etc. If RootsWeb attempts 5 consecutive times and cannot deliver, it automatically removes the offending email address from the list of subscribers. Not to worry. If your server is having temporary problems, more than likely they will be cleared up before there are 5 bounces for your address. If you go for a period of time and don't get any mail from the List, you can just re-subscribe. If you are already on the list, you won't be added again. For you users who have a limit on the number of messages your server allows to accumu- late in your mailbox, PLEASE keep it emptied so that there are no bounces. If you go on vacation, or are otherwise away from your computer for a day or two, BE SURE TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THE LIST before you leave. RootsWeb has no way right now to set NOMAIL, as MAISER did. You can always re-subscribe once you return. 5) There will be archives of ALL messages posted to the BROYLES List, including all those that were on MAISER. You can retrieve these archives -- I will inform you later how to do this. 6) Below is the Welcome Message that will be going out to all new subscribers. Since you were transferred over from the old MAISER List, you will not receive this message from RootsWeb. I am sending it to all of you now so you will know EXACTLY how to subscribe and unsubscribe. PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE BELOW !!!!! Then, read it again !!!!! If you do things correctly, it cuts down on the heavy load at RootsWeb, not to mention it cuts down on the mail I receive telling me someone has sent an incorrect command to RootsWeb. ================================================= NEW WELCOME MESSAGE: Welcome to the BROYLES mailing list! You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to BROYLES as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to digest mode are given below. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR "SIGNATURE ELEMENT" TURNED OFF. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] (Again, NOTHING but the word "subscribe" (without the quotation marks, of course); NO SIGNATURE ELEMENT !!!!!) 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to [email protected] It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both. For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription request is included below. *****NOTE FROM LISTOWNER***** The same things apply here on RootsWeb as applied on MAISER. No "flames", no profanity, no rude comments sent publicly (I would hope none are sent privately either). If your mailbox gets full, or if your server has problems, you will be dropped from the List automatically after a predetermined number of "bounces". Once the problem is cleared up, you can subscribe again. I am still available at the same email address as before: [email protected] (Make sure it is not "sgtgeorge"; there is no "e" at the end of "sgtgeorg".)

Haven't chatted with you in a while and while reading Ken's reply to Vickie, remembered that I had meant to advise everyone of his publications on the BROYLES and related lines. I maintain a link to a page for him on the BROYLES/BRILES Family History web site at: HTTP://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/index.shtml Or, you can go directly to his page at: HTTP://homepages.rootsweb.com/~george/kenbroy.html On that page you will be able to see an index of all his publications, their costs, etc. I'm not sending this as an advertisement for Ken's publications, but as direction to some fantastic research tools in the way of publications on our related families. Take a look. You won't regret it, SgtGeorge BROYLES Mailing List Listowner
