This has been received from the Rootsweb administration: 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 We are presently setting up email groups at https://groups.io/. If there is interest in migrating this list to groups.io please respond to this message to that effect ASAP. With heavy hearts, Jim and Di

We just wanted to encourage you all to make use of this list in your family searches. A large number of Rootsweb lists have been made inactive due to no messages over a period of time. We want to keep as many lists active as we possibly can and your participation will help toward that goal. If you have a "brick wall" in your family search, send in a message with as much information as you have and let's see if someone may be able to help fill in those blanks. Best wishes, Jim and Di

Author: bchub78 Surnames: Turner & Blount Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.georgia.counties.turner/721/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Would appreciate any leads on my great grand parents, Charles Henry Turner and Mary Frances Blount prior to 1900. They appear on the 1900 US Census with their family in Jonesboro, GA. In October 1908 the family suffered the loss of their son Matthew by a shooting accident, he is buried in the Turner Cemetery of Clayton County, GA. The family sold their farm and moved to Ashburn, GA and appear on the 1910 US Census, from there they moved to Brevard County, FL in about 1920. I have been unable to locate them on the 1920 US Census in Georgia or Florida. Am most curious to know why they did not appear on the 1920 Census but not as much as who their parents were. If you have any thing to share I would be most grateful. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
