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.

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

I see you are in America, I am in England. Godby was my mother's maiden name, sadly she is no longer here and neither is anyone else who could shed light on the Godby name. My maternal grandfather was Walter Godby and he was a postman in London for most of his working life. I do recall my mother telling me some of the Godby's emigrated to New Zealand/Canada. It is such an unsual name (never seen any in the phone directories over here) it would be interesting to know where your Godby surname originated from Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
