    1. General info & Winter e-mail address changes

    3. Hello all, I thought I'd post this to the group as I had one request to do this already, and since I live in FL, I see this 'Winter migration' each year and thought some others of you might be doing the same thing. If you are heading south for the winter, and will be changing internet providers, thus getting a new e-mail address, you need to unsubscribe the old address and subscribe the new one. Just do it again when you go back home. This actually applies anytime you change e-mail addresses. PLEASE, unsubscribe the old one, or I get kick back messages and then have to check what's happening. Several times I just had to delete the original address and hope I didn't inadvertently remove someone. You subscribe and unsubscribe just like you did when you joined the newsgroup. Send e-mail to LITTLETON-L-request@rootsweb.com with just the one word - subscribe or unsubscribe - in the body. If you're on digest mode, send it to LITTLETON-D-request@rootsweb.com. I hope everyone has had a good summer. The weather is starting to cool off a bit here in SW FL and the rainy season has stopped. Hurricane Georges gave us a scare going by offshore about 100 miles, but hey, that's FL. My current project since I'm at a dead end trying to connect my ggg gf back to his parents in Loudoun Co, VA, is working on making the America to England connection on some of our oldest ancestors here in the 'colonies'. I believe the only connection we have so far is that of Col Nathaniel Littleton back to his English line. I'd bet money that these other early settlers of NC, SC, VA, MD, etc, are cousins and uncles of his. I was just given the address (snail not e-mail arggghhhh) of a Littleton researcher named Trevor T Littleton in England. I dropped him a letter yesterday and hope to establish a dialog with him so we have a source for some research over there. Since we have over 50 subscribers now, and I know many of you don't know the others, but might want to contact a new cousin in your same line, I was trying to think of a way to get some kind of an index together that would show our names, e-mail addresses, and somehow, the Littleton line we belong to. Does anyone have any suggestions, and would anyone be willing to collect this information via their e-mail from our subscribers and put it in some handy-dandy layout? I was thinking of a format like: Subscribers name - e-mail address Most recent Littleton surname ancestor and location (city,state) Oldest Littleton surname ancestor you know about and location (city,state) One line of free text of your choosing, like : 'I think my ggg gf is son of William & Mary Littleton in the VA group but can't prove it.' If everyone would compose it EXACTLY this way (or however we decide), and send it to whoever volunteers to collect it, they could just cut and paste it into a document that could be sent out periodically. I could also put instructions on doing this in the 'Welcome Aboard' message that goes to each new subscriber. I also could provide the volunteer a list of all the subscribers e-mail addresses as a checkoff list. Are y'all (that's FL talk) interested in something like this? It wouldn't be required so if you want your privacy, that's OK. Post ideas to the list so we can all see them. Guess that's about all for now - take care and good hunting.
