    3. PLEASE READ AND PRINT OUT this entire message before you post a message to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com You are currently subscribed in "mail mode", which means that you will receive every posting made to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L as a separate e-mail. The directions on how to change to"digest mode" are given below. 1. Purpose. The XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L list is for lookup requests from the Federal and State census, all years. 2. To UNSUBSCRIBE: Send a message to: XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains in the body of the message the command "unsubscribe" (no quotation marks) and NO additional text or signature lines. (If you have difficulty removing your signature lines, you can put the word "quit" on the line after "unsubscribe"). If your E-mail address goes bad or your mailbox fills up, you'll be automatically unsubscribed by the mailing list software after the fourth message in a row bounces back to RootsWeb. 3. To SUBSCRIBE: Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe"to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com. 4. To change to DIGEST MODE (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "subscribe" to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D-request@rootsweb.com to start receiving the digest. Second, send the command "unsubscribe" to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com to discontinue mail mode. 5. How to change to NOMAIL mode: There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 6. TO POST a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to: XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com. It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. DON'T send it explicitly to both mailing lists. 7. The custodian of the XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L list is Kelly Courtney-Blizzard censuslookup@hotmail.com. If you have problems getting subscribed/unsubscribed from the list or have any other difficulties with the list, write to me (not to the list) and I'll try to resolve the problem. 8. Even if you decide not to save this message, please try to remember that, like all the CENSUS-L-LOOKUP lists at RootsWeb, the subscribe and unsubscribe messages go to XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request@rootsweb.com, not to the XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L@rootsweb.com list itself. If such messages do appear on the list, I'll manually subscribe or unsubscribe the person, though. 9. The mailing list is presently installed at rootsweb.com, which is the home of the RootsWeb. See http://www.rootsweb.com for information about RootsWeb. It's not necessary to pay anything to subscribe to any of its surname mailing lists. 10. Message format and attachments. Subject lines should be "YR/SURNAME/COUNTY". Please submit messages only in plain text (no HTML), and don't submit attachments or hyperlinks. Many of our subscribers are using software that cannot read attachments hyperlinks sometimes cause messages to be bounced back. ONLY ONE SURNAME per request! Please, always use a helpful subject line like "1880/STEWART/Saginaw Co", rather than a generic one like "inquiry about Stewart family". 11. Copyrights. Any person sending a message to this list retains the copyright to it. By sending the message, you grant to the list custodian, and to his heirs and assigns forever, permission to distribute copies of the message to other list members, to store archival copies of the message, and to make the archival copies available to the Internet community at large. You also grant to other list members the right to quote your message in part or in total as a part of their replies sent back to the list. 12. No-nos. Please DO NOT submit virus alerts, chain letters, or other off-topic material to the list. Don't send copies of copyrighted material. Vulgarity and personal attacks on other list members are also unwelcome. Don't send messages exceeding 8 kilobytes in length. If someone else violates these rules, please do not send their message back to this list! That just magnifies the problem, and defeats our anti-spam defenses at Rootsweb. 13. "Please" and "Thank You" are always welcome! When thanking someone for a lookup, please email that person directly, do not post to the list. 14. For your verification, a transcript of the original subscription request is included below. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp

    1. [ME-CENSUS] Re:Grant/1860/????
    2. Betty Garrett
    3. i am looking for some rather elusive Grant family members.My info is sketchy: Cyrus Grant was born Feb 1860 in Maine to ??????? Grant and Elizabeth. in Maine.Some family members say the Bar harbour area,but that isn't certain.Brother Charles Grant was born approx 10 years later in Delaware. By the 1880 National index Elizabeth was married to Dennis Minner of delaware.Both this index and the Census of 1900 lists cyrus' birthplace and that of his parents as Maine. Is there anyway of checking a list of Grants in Maine in 1860,their spouses names and if they had a male child born in feb 1860. Any clues or assistance greatly appreciated
