OK, I guess some of you are going to take exception to this post from me, the Listowner. Recently, as Listowner of these Rootsweb Mailing Lists, I have been receiving too many "Reject" messages from various ISP's to NOT say something about it. For those 95+% of you, to whom this does not apply, just ignore the rest of this post and delete it. To those of you who subscribe to various Mailing Lists it behooves you to log on at least once a day and download your waiting emails! For Heaven's sake, how do you expect to receive messages from friends and family if you ISP mailbox fills up and you can't receive any more messages? And, if you don't want to empty out your ISP mailboxes on a regular basis, why even use email in the first place? So, please, if you are one of the guilty parties, do your best to log on and download email often enough that further emails are not "bounced". What I would like is, if you don't care enough to empty your mailbox, please unsubscribe to the Lists to which you are subscribed. You are eventually automatically unsubscribed anyway, after enough bounces, but, in the meanwhile, you cause unnecessary Internet traffic and just add to the already over-burdened system. DOWNLOAD YOUR EMAIL ON A REGULAR BASIS! Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Listowner

Still looking for Samuel DeArman. New information has been received (undocumented) he might have been the son of Samuel DeArman and Anastasia "Stacy" Blythe. Her parents are reported to have been Jonathan Blythe and Anne ?? of Cherokee blood. Samuel was on the 1840 census in what became Rabut Co., GA but some say he was b in what became Oconee, SC. He died in Yell Co., AR. ANY information on these folks would be deeply appreciated. After 15 years, I will be glad to get anything. Geri Kennedy-Young GKYoung72@aol.com
I am pleased to announce that a new Mailing List has been started at Rootsweb! WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES This List is an outgrowth of two other Lists I manage, VIRUS-DISCUSSION and EUDORA-MAIL. Working with those two Lists, it became apparent that many users needed help with the basics of Windows BEFORE they could really understand how to use the Eudora email program, or how to use Anti-Virus programs. As it has turned out, on both the two Lists, the majority of email concerned how to use Windows, rather than being discussions of the topics of the Lists. Thus was born WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES. A note here: For our wonderful subscribers to VIRUS-DISCUSSION and EUDORA-MAIL, continue to post your email on these Lists when it pertains to the subjects of the Lists. If your question or reply has to do with Windows in general, please join the new List and start posting there. For subscribers to the other Lists I manage, I invite you to join us at WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES whenever you have ANY question or problem with Windows. Topics will be wide-ranging and ANY subject will be allowed, as long as it has to do with "how to" do so-and-so in Windows (or DOS, for that matter). There is already a List called COMPUTERS, but most of the time the discussions are about hardware, and not very much on software, especially Windows. It is very difficult to discuss hardware without getting into the workings of Windows, so we felt this new List was necessary. To subscribe: Send to: WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES-L-request@computers.rootsweb.com (for the -L, individual message, Mode) or Send to: WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES-D-request@computers.rootsweb.com (for the -D, Digest, Mode) BE SURE TO READ THE WELCOME MESSAGE!!!!! Be sure to SAVE it in your email program. If you ever need to know how to unsubscribe, or anything else about the List, keeping the Welcome Message is very important. So, welcome aboard. We hope to see lots of you on the List. Remember, ANY question or problem concerning Windows is welcome. (We hope very much that discussion of email programs, etc., on the VIRUS-DISCUSSION List will be moved to this new List.) Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN WINDOWS-FOR-DUMMIES List Administrator
I am looking for the origin of the name Durman. Please help if you can. Nicholas Durman Yorkshire UK
I thought some of you might enjoy reading this newscast from ABCNEWS on April 21st. Here's the gist: April 21 It may be the worlds largest known family tree. Researchers from Oxford University in Oxford, England, have identified seven ancestral matriarchal groups from which all Europeans appear to be descended. These maternal clans form the root of a family tree that has sprouted millions of individuals. Every European, according to the study, can trace his or her evolutionary history back to the seven ancestral mother groups, also referred to as the Seven Daughters of Eve. The researchers, who both discovered and formulated the genetic groupings, say these women would have lived between 8,000 to 45,000 years ago. The URL for the web site is: http://abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/daughters000420.html It's fascinating reading! Enjoy, SgtGeorge
Some of you may have noticed that there are posts to these Lists that originated on the Gen-Connect Boards at Rootsweb. We have configured the Boards so that a post there is automatically forwarded to the appropriate Lists. Here's an example: Someone goes to the Query Board for the GERMANNA COLONIES (VA) Suite. He/she posts a query about a Germanna ancestor, giving name, dates, places, etc. That query will be forwarded to the GERMANNA_COLONIES Mailing List. Now, if you reply to this Query back to the GERMANNA_COLONIES Mailing List, it will only show up on the List, and not on the GERMANNA COLONIES (VA) Query Board. Here's a suggestion: Look at the first lines of the body text of each email on the Mailing List. If one says: Posted on: GERMANNA COLONIES (VA)<br>Queries Forum Board URL: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/GermannaColonies?read=39 Then it was forwarded from the GERMANNA COLONIES (VA) Gen-Connect Board, and did not originate from the GERMANNA_COLONIES Mailing List. (You can also identify messages forwarded from the Boards by a line that looks like this: X-Original-Sender: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Mon Apr 3 12:40:35 2000 What this means to us, the users of these Lists, is that when replying, we should click on the clickable URL link (it should be in a different color in your email browser, and should be underlined), which will take us to the appropriate Board at Rootsweb. Then, we should post our reply THERE! That way, the reply will show up on the Board, AND be forwarded back to the List automatically. Messages to Boards and Lists, other than GERMANNA_COLONIES, will look the same, they will just be identified with the appropriate Board identifier, e.g., Posted on: WILHITE <br>Queries Forum (or Biographies or Wills Forum, etc.) or Posted on: LOVETTE <br>Queries Forum (or Deeds or Obits Forum, etc.) Just look for the line that starts with "Posted on:" or contains the word "Forum". There are many, many researchers that "find" the Boards at Rootsweb, but haven't yet become aware that there are also matching Mailing Lists. Or, that WANT to post to the Boards, since the messages stay there indefinitely, as opposed to the one-time receipt using a Mailing List. User's of the Boards can go to one and easily pull up ALL the messages that have been posted there since the Board was formed. A very good place for posts of a more permanent nature. In case there are newcomers reading this, newcomers who haven't received the info on the Boards, here is a repeat of the pertinent information AND clickable links to the Boards I manage: Suites of

Rootsweb has just instituted a new feature for us genealogy researchers. Most Listowners also manage Suites of Boards for their Surname, County, State, etc. There has always been a problem with the Boards in that some researchers posted queries and replies ONLY to the Boards and unless Listowners copied the messages and forwarded to the Lists, very few people actually saw them. Now, we Listowners have the option of having Board messages forwarded to the appropriate Mailing List. I have activated this function for one List so far, GERMANNA_COLONIES-L. This weekend I hope to configure the corresponding Boards for all the Mailing Lists I manage. What this means is that when someone posts to a Board, that message will show up on the corresponding Mailing List. It is necessary that all you subscribers are aware of this, so that you can reply to the appropriate email address. If you see a post here on the Lists, be sure to look at the headers to see if it came from a Board. If so, and you reply, you will need to send to the email address of the sender, as many Board posters are not subscribers of the corresponding List. MAKE SURE you also CC: the List on which the post appears, so that we may all see your reply. You can identify which posts are forwarded from the GC-Connect Boards. The FROM: will be: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN

For those who are not aware, the merger between BC Telephone and Telus (in Alberta) last year has resulted in a number of changes, not the least of which was a change in the corporate name to TELUS. As a result, in October, @bc.sympatico.ca will cease to exist. Any subscribers using @bc.sympatico.ca should change their email addresses to @telus.net. They can do this with a single click of a link on their MyBC home page. Both addresses will work up to some time in October. As Listowner, here is what I would suggest: To avoid a lot of manual unsubscribes on the part of Listowners, anyone using the old @bc.sympatico.ca domain should unsubscribe before changing addresses to @telus.net, and then resubscribe after changing to @telus.net. If you change your address to @telus.net, then try to unsubscribe the old @bc.sympatico.ca address, it WON'T work. We Listowners will have to manually do it for you. That's a lot of work, especially for some of us who host dozens of Lists. Thanks, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN
For the past 2 or 3 days there has been a problem on one of the servers at Rootsweb, the one that handles most of the Lists which I manage. So, thought I should tell all of you that if you have sent email to one of these Lists, and it hasn't shown up, maybe you should repost it. Normally, email is posted within minutes, and it never takes longer than an hour or so. If you posted Friday or Saturday and haven't seen it yet, it could be lost. Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN
I have modified the options at Rootsweb so that from now on, whenever you receive an email post to any of the Lists that I manage, you will see the name of the List in brackets before the actual subject line. Examples: [BROYLES] Subject [WILHITE] Subject This will help some of you in filtering incoming email into your mailboxes. It will also allow you to know if each incoming email is from a List I manage, and, if so, the name of the List. Of the 19 Lists I manage, 15 of them will have the exact List NAME prepended. There are 4 exceptions, as exampled below: BARREL-RACING will be: [BARREL] Subject CFT-WIN will be: [CFTW] Subject EUDORA-MAIL will be: [EUDORA] Subject. GERMANNA_COLONIES will be: [GERMANNA] Subject Let me know how you like the change, and if it gives you any problems. Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN
To contact me, the Listowner, send an email to: listname-admin@rootsweb.com Where "listname" is the name of the List, e.g., BROYLES, EUDORA-MAIL, GERMANNA_COLONIES, etc. Do NOT include -L or -D in the address. Just type it as shown above. Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN Listowner of: BRILES BROYLES WILHITE WILHOIT GERMANNA_COLONIES (And 13 other Lists)

Well, I would LOVE to be able to connect my DURMAN line back to England (or anywhere, for that matter), but have been able to get back to about 1790 or so. If any of you DURMAN researchers out there ever run across a DURMAN (or DORMAN) who immigrated to America prior to about 1800, please let me know. There are many possibilities, but our ancestor could have arrived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, or Virginia. It is even remotely possible that the immigrant came to Canada, and THEN came on to America. We've found the surname spelled several ways for the same person in the same county courthouse in Virginia. Sometimes, we even find DURMAN and DORMAN in the same record for the same person. So we won't rule out DORMAN as an ancestor either. All of you keep in touch, (P.S. I also manage the DORMAN and DEARMAN Mailing Lists.) SgtGeorge George W.

I almost forgot about this list! Glad to see it active again. My Duhrmann's came from Goeritz Prussia- I don't know where before that. I'd be glad to hear from any cousins. In addition to the family below, there is another Duhrmann family which I believe is related to this one. Carl Ludwig Wilhelm "William" Durhmann (below) likely had a sister Caroline Duhrmann. She m. Wilhelm Mueller and immigrated on the ship Wm. Skee from Hamburg to Quebec in 1854. A cholera epidemic broke out and her husband died. So did the wife of another passenger, Carl Fleischfresser. Eventually Carl Fleischfresser and Caroline Mueller nee. Duhrmann married and settled in Watertown, Wisconsin. In 1870 the couple outlined below, "William" (Carl Ludwig W.) and "Caroline" Duhrmann (Emilie Caroline) nee. Boettcher, moved next door to the Fleischfressers. The only "proof" of relation between these likely siblings is that they both came from Goeritz, Prussia, had the same last name, and lived next door to each other in WI. If anyone is interested in either family, I'd be glad to send more information. Cassandra Hanson Descendants of Carl Ludwig Wilhelm Duhrmann Generation No. 1 1. CARL LUDWIG WILHELM1 DUHRMANN was born 02 January 1832 in Goeritz, Kreis Prenzlau, Prussia, and died Bet. 1900 - 1908 in Pleasant Valley, Mower, Minnesota.

I think there was a little village called DURMAN. If anyone can help me to confirm this, please do! ============================================================ NOTE From Listowner of the DURMAN Mailing List: I use the Personalized Mailing List (PML) at Rootsweb and received this email this morning. It was originally posted on the GC-FAQ List, How to use GenConnect. I am forwarding it here in hopes that we can get some dialog started about our surname. I manage 18 Mailing Lists and this one, DURMAN, is the least used of any of them. Please, let's start doing some posting and see if we can come up with some answers. I have quite a bit of data on DURMAN in the USA, starting out in VA about 1750. If any of you are in America and have done ANY research, please let's get together here and see if we can link up. For those of you in Europe or other places, please let's get some communication started and see if we American DURMANs can tie back to the "old countries". Regards, SgtGeorge George W.

Sorry to bother you again, but there have been several requests lately concerning "how to access the Archives for such-and-such Mailing List". It IS a little confusing, so I thought I should cover the ground once more so that all of you can access the "type" of Archives that you desire. (1) You may access Archives for a Mailing List, where you can see ALL of the messages in the Archives, arranged by "threads"; that is, if an original email has been posted, with a specific subject, you can see a header for that email, AND all answers to it, all arranged together. Here's how it works: The first time you try the "Mailing List Archives" at "archiver.rootsweb.com", you will have to establish a User Name and a Password. Please NOTE that this User Name and Password will be the one that you use to access ANY Mailing List Archive in the future; in other words, you will NOT have a different User Name and Password for each different Mailing List. Write down the User Name and Password. Even better, use a good Password utility and put this data into the it. (If you need help on getting a FREE Password utility, send me a private email.) The next time you access this service, you will have to type in your User Name and Password. To access the service for ANY Mailing List, use this URL: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/XXXXXXXX-L (Where XXXXXXXXX-L is replaced by the ACTUAL name of the Mailing List you are trying to access; e.g., BROYLES-L, or GERMANNA_COLONIES-L, or WILHITE-L, etc. Please note that the name of the List is CASE SENSITIVE!!!!! It must be typed in ALL CAPS. Once you have "logged in" you will be presented with a list of the different months you can access. The Archives start with the first month that the List was activated, up to the present month. Click on a month and you will be presented with a page that lists all the messages for that month, arranged by "threads" (subjects). There is a place to click to see all the messages in chronological order, "Chronological Index". This will "un-thread" the messages, and show you a list of email arranged by date. You may also, at the top of the page, do a search of all the Archives for the specific Mailing List. Typing in a "string" and clicking "search" will give you a list of email containing the "string", either in the subject or in the body, for ALL of the Archives for this Mailing List. (2) Second type of Search at Rootsweb: Interactive Search. Go to: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Type in the name of the Mailing List, e.g., WILHITE, BROYLES, GERMANNA-COLONIES, CFT-WIN, etc. This entry is not case sensitive. Click "Submit Query". In this search, you do not get a list of emails, either chronological or by thread. You type in your search string, choose the year and click "Search". This one is probably better if you are searching for specific text, or specific subject, no matter which year or month. (3) If you wish to search for a SURNAME on ANY Mailing List at Rootsweb, go here: http://rsl.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/rslsql.cgi Type in the required data and continue. Hope this helps. If you have questions, please do NOT reply back here to the Lists, instead send to me privately at: sgtgeorg@concentric.net Regards, SgtGeorge George W. Durman Knoxville, TN

It would help ME if I could find an immigration record from England to America, about 1700 to about 1780. My ancestor, John DURMAN, pops up in Smyth Co., VA, with no antecedents.

I have various Dormant and Durmans all born Somerset, England. Sometimes the spelling is interchangeable. Is this any help? Ernie Snelling esnellin@cts.com
