Rootsweb will decommission the email forwarding service of rootsweb stating tomorrow March 2. The archives will remain available - they are at : https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/list/can-ont-carleton.rootsweb.com/202 0/3/ and hopefully will still have a web page forwarding to there. I have not seen a Carleton County Mailing list as an Alternate. There is a facebook group Carleton County Ontario Memories History Ancestors <https://www.facebook.com/groups/carletoncountyontariogenealogy/> As well as at least one regional group, such as the West Carleton Township Memories History Ancestors Both are private groups

As Janet's 3rd cousin once removed, (found via this list), I appreciate all the information that was shared on the list and also thank you for your hard work over the years, Steve.  Karen P has also given me valuable information and advice.  I'm sure the archives will remain a great resource.

You’re welcome. This list was not an easy task, at one point there were up to 1000 spam email per week arriving. These would be bundled with user messages that were held for what ever reason. I had to parse the lists to find valid messages. Thankfully, valid email was forwarded automatically. I guess people are opting for mire interactive, or more flexible options. Just plain text is limiting. Both Google groups and Groups.io <http://groups.io/> allow pictures, attachments , and I assume special formatting. Checking another group I use (not manage) I found about 60 messages total in 2018 and 2019. In 2014 there were over 40 messages in each of the 4 months I checked. (And most of the 2018 messages were how to sub to the new rootsweb) The archives will remain available, but I wonder how relevant. I have checked FB and found several groups for individual townships, as well as the one I joined for just Carleton. I am not sure how well FB will fill in for the type of queries normally presented here, but then that depends upon the group admins. Too many of the public groups are filled with misinformation and random comments as to make them useless.

Thank you for administrating the list. It has been helpful. The people on it have been very helpful. I know it has been extremely quiet these last few years. It was this list that I met my 3rd cousin once removed and we have become friends and remain in contact 15 years after meeting. Thank you.

Well, Speaking for myself, i think the List was very helpful, and answered all my questions, and at the same time I learned more from reading the other posts, and therefor have nothing left to ask. I think the same case might be true for others on the list. As time progresses it will be the younger generation who becomes older and starts their own research that might be hampered by not having this list. But as long as it can be accessed via archives that you mentioned earlier, they should be OK.

Unfortunately there might have been 10 emails over the last 3 years. 2019 I was the only one who posted. Possibly one of the reasons for the shutdown.

I just got this from Rootsweb administration today. "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. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account. Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team " This says that the rootsweb list archives will remain accessible, but interactive emailing will no longer occur. I checked and there is a Ancestry message board for Carleton County, and it has some activity 10 messages since April. You can search the boards from , https://www.ancestry.com/boards/ I am a member of a private FB group, Carleton County Ontario History and Genealogy. There are likely others. There is no Google Group with Carleton County in its name, and there are just too many Carleton groups to easily filter for a genealogy base. Steve O.

Ancestry is in the midst of further refining their DNA testing results. My results have changed slightly but nothing earthshaking. Your results may vary. Steve O.

From Dick Eastons newsletter, I could not find an original. "At AncestryR, we leverage the latest cutting-edge DNA science and technology to deliver detailed historical insights that empower you to uncover more about your family's origins. Today, we released over 225 new AncestryDNAR communities to help our members who have ties to France, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, empowering them to unlock even more discoveries about their family history." https://blog.eogn.com/2019/06/21/ancestry-unveils-over-225-new-communities-f or-members-who-have-ties-to-france-canada-the-united-kingdom-australia-and-n ew-zealand/ Steve O.

Ancestry has added groupings to the North American side of our Dna stories, well at least my wifes and mine. Previously, my results had just 2 groups in the New York area, but it has been further split down. And 2 groups have been added in Ontario. My wifes French Canadian results are totally changed, and more closely follow the locations I know her family has lived. I don't know if this is true for all, Just saw the results This occurs as Ancestry has more data to use, and more information on your ancestors - if you submitted a family tree. If you don't have a tree on file, well their estimate is all you have. Steve O.

Hi list, I have just joined so please advise if I approach the right way. I am looking for a man whose relative visited sometime from 1936 - 1939 In Ottawa. The person does not know what crime he committed so could be in a lesser or higher environment. Are these records viewable online as I have searched web sites without luck? The person in question could have the surname of KENT or MORTIMER. Many thanks for any assistance with my query. Michele in Australia
