Several weeks ago, Rootsweb through its Help Desk link announced that, on a rolling basis, it was upgrading each of its Servers, starting with the Lists2 Server. Lists2 as a Server includes the Ortenau List. Something looked strange but I did not realize the specific difference when Wendelin on May 22 sent through his list of "more emigrants" found while he was researching old Baden newspapers. Apparently one of those Rootsweb upgrades had eliminated the word [Ortenau] from the message Subject Line. That one word is important particularly now when so many stray and dangerous e-mail messages are processed as a result of errant viri and worms. I have attempted to adjust the steps at Rootsweb to readd that word to the Subject Line. This message partly is a test to see if those efforts were completed correctly. -------------- For the favor portion of this message, I realize that many of we List members had known other of our List members on a personal e-mail basis before joining this List. For myself, I had prior contact with a number of members before this List was established and before I was invited to join the List. My problem today is that I would like to reach two List members and I wonder if anyone knows of either < [email protected] > or < [email protected] >. If so, would you please ask them to contact me off-List or offer me a more current e-mail address so that I might contact them. djweber [email protected]
