Hello, As you probably know by now, today is the last day that these genealogy lists hosted by Rootsweb will be working. I am the current administrator of the MANTLO list, but not the MANTLE list. I will not be setting up a replacement list. Some lists are migrating, most to Groups.io. If anyone here plans to set up a replacement list for MANTLO genealogy (on any other platform) please let me know as I have some information that could prove beneficial to you. I have already begun a replacement group on FaceBook. It is called "MANTLO / MANTLE Surname Genealogy". And, if you are on FaceBook, you will find it at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1573861259404505/ FaceBook is hosting more and more genealogy groups every day. But, for those of you who prefer not to use FaceBook, I understand. Happy Researching! Leslie Bridges Kohler MANTLO List Administrator

Testing to make sure the list is back up & running. Leslie - List Admin.

Hello Everyone, Those of us who live in the US, are celebrating Thanksgiving this weekend. With it being harder than ever to get everyone together, there will be special family gatherings from this evening (Wed) all the way through Sunday. If you can find a little time, please tell us which of your ancestors (pertaining to this list's interest) you'd like to be able to visit with during your celebration. Let us know what things you'd like to discuss with this ancestor and why. It would be wise to change the subject line before sending your information. Leslie

Good Morning Everyone, (Hello Margaret) There has been a new MANTLO message posted to the one of the Rootsweb message boards. Please go to http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/BiB.2ACI/2713 to read this message. Margaret is not yet subscribed here, but you can reach her directly at MGardner@earthlink.net.

Hello Everyone, With Christmas upon us in only 2 days and with the celebrations of several other religious holidays being so close date-wise, please note that we will soon be seeing many new subscribers to the list. These people will also be putting queries on the message boards. They will, undoubtedly, make many mistakes. We were all newbies once, and I (for one) wrote many a query before I got the hang of things... like surnames being put in capital letters, for example. Some of the newbies may even be new to genealogy. And, unfortunately, some of them will expect that they can find all of their families' information on the internet. So, please be patient, and help them learn. One of them might even end up being your very own cousin! Thanks for your cooperation. Merry Christmas! Leslie (Bridges) Kohler - List Administrator

Hello Everyone, I am back from my over-seas trip. While I was away, I was only able to get to my email for 3 very short sessions, and those were to clean out my on-line inbox so the messages would not begin to bounce. I saw a few emails come through the list(s) while I was away... but not many. So, jump right in and remind us for whom you are searching. (Just remember to change the subject line.) Leslie Kohler

Hello Everyone, I am leaving early in the morning for a trip to Belgium and the Netherlands. So, if you need me, I'll have to respond when I return on the 25th. Be good to each other while I am away. Leslie

Good Morning, As you may be aware, AOL and CompuServe were blocking the messages, from the RootsWeb computers, for about a week. They mistakenly thought that the messages were spam. As far as I can tell, the problem has now been corrected. If you have one of these servers, you may have missed some of the messages to this list. You can look at those messages by going to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/. Once there, type in the list name and then click "Submit Query". This will then bring you to a list of dates. Click on "January 2004" to see the messages. Leslie

Pleasant Sunday Everyone, With the holiday season quickly drawing to a close, we will soon see an influx of new subscribers who have recently come on-line with their new computers. Please remember to make these people feel at home. The new members may make some mistakes, just as most of us did when we first began. So, please be patient and try to help them learn. One of them just might provide an answer to someone's brick wall. Leslie (Bridges) Kohler - List Administrator

The Facts About the 1886 Charleston, SC Earthquake from: http://www.csuniv.edu/Academics/Quake/scebrochure.htm The following list of facts about the 1886 Charleston Earthquake provides answers for the frequently asked questions about the most damaging earth- quake to ever occur in the eastern United States. Date of occurrence - August 31, 1886 (Tuesday). The main shock was followed by an aftershock two minutes later and many more shocks for the following three years. Time - 9:51 p.m. Eastern Standard Time Magnitude = 7.6 (Johnson, 1991) Intensity on Modified Mercalli Scale = X Two epicenters were reported by Dutton (1889). They were: Woodstock, a railroad stop on the Southern Railway leading into Charleston. This is 21 miles northwest of Charleston (Shedlock, 1988). Ravenel, a small town 23 miles southwest of Charleston, SC. Felt over 2.5 million square miles (From Cuba to New York, and Bermuda to the Mississippi). Approximately 110 persons lost their lives. Ninety percent (90 percent) of the brick structures in Charleston were damaged (Dutton, 1889). Damaging secondary effects were fires, ruptured water and sewage lines, damaged wells, flooding from cracked dam in Langley, South Carolina, and in the highest intensity area bent railroad tracks, throwing one train off the tracks. Dollar damage estimates in 1886 dollars were about $5.5 million. Approximately 70 percent of all the present day South Carolina Coastal Plain earthquakes have occurred within the highest intensity area of the 1886 Charleston earthquake. (Shedlock, 1988) There was some slumping on the Ashley River banks during the 1886 earthquake. Numerous craterlets or sandblows were formed in lower South Carolina. Some sandblows near the North Carolina border were found in the 1980s. Earthquakes do not open up cracks to swallow whole neighborhoods. In the 1886 Charleston earthquake many people panicked, but everyone gathered their wits and resources to recover from the devastating event. Some businesses reopened in two days. At Columbia, Augusta, Raleigh, Atlanta and Savannah, the fright and concern of all people were universal. In all of the large towns within 200 miles of Charleston, houses and other structures were damaged. Scientists are searching to determine the cause of the 1886 Charleston earthquake. The geologic fault or faults causing the 1886 earthquake and the small earthquakes in South Carolina today cannot be seen on the surface of the earth. The fault(s) are buried under deep (several kilometers) sediments.
