This may be of interest to list members >From admim. Will let you know when its all better. Nadine Hensley List owner We've lost one of the two T1s that our main Web server uses. UUNET, our backbone provider, is working on the problem. Problems like this usually get resolved within a few hours at worst. In the meantime, we're closing down pieces of RootsWeb to try to limp through. So far, we have taken down the following virtual domains and Web/FTP sites: IIGS.ORG USGENWEB.NET/ORG USGENWEB ARCHIVES (anonymous FTP access only disabled) WORLDGENWEB.ORG Other than the USGenWeb Archives, we have not taken down any individual sites. Consequently, our regular users should still be able to find the resources they routinely use. We'll restore normal operations as soon as we can. You can bet everyone is doing everything possible. -B -- Dr. Brian Leverich Co-moderator, soc.genealogy.methods/GENMTD-L RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative http://www.rootsweb.com/ P.O.

Hi, My name is Tom Tinney, Sr., retired genealogical research specialist. My wife Chris and I have developed and voluntarily maintain a non-profit, no ads, Genealogy and Family History web site at: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~vctinney/archives.htm This is a specific educational, Library and Archives Resources site that deals directly with UCDavis, Shields Library, the Sacramento Regional Community and extended University of California, [USA], systemwide Internet connections. Please review it carefully for consideration as a benefit for all university and college students, faculty and staff, alumni library researchers and general genealogy and family history library patrons, worldwide. This comprehensive training site is a learning-by-doing, self-contained and self-paced teaching instrument, using examples of a real time family organization to show how and what can be accomplished today in scholarly research in this area of the auxiliary sciences to History. Respectfully yours, Tom Tinney, Sr. Listed in: Who's Who In The West, 1998/1999 Who's Who In Genealogy and Heraldry, [both editions]

Hi! On June 23, 1998, I created a monster! A genealogy monster, that is... That is the day that I started Connect With Surnames. This is a place to list people and websites doing genealogy according to the surnames that they are researching. I have been SWAMPED with submissions. I am about 15 submissions behind right now, and that's doing good. I just did an official count of the number of surnames. 1336 is the grand total. So, you think that your surname is too unique to find someone else researching it? Think again! Wigley, Schneider, Wyckoff, Craddock, Schimanowsky, Vermeule, Weir, Huebner, and Latzig are among the most unusual listed there. The top most unusual listed at Connect With Surnames in my opinion is Szczygiel. So, why don't you drop by and find a connection or leave your surnames (limit 15) at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Flats/4239 And if you are interested, but only have email and do not have access to webpages, send me your name, email address, and up to 15 surnames to be listed there. I will list only your email address (or website) under the submitted surnames. I do not list dates, places, nor individual queries. There are different approaches to doing this type of webpage, and I have links to 2 other wonderful surname sites with slightly different approaches on my pages. Thanks, Amy Brown

The Huntley database from the books "John Huntley of Lyme, Connecticut" by Virgil W. Huntley located at http://members.home.net/ctyankee has just been updated.

Hello all - I have just added a new web page and two new scripts to the Cyndi's List web site. These are designed to help me with the increasing tremendous load of incoming e-mail that I'm dealing with every day. I noticed that I was beginning to spend more time on my e-mail each day than I was spending on updating the site. Things HAD to change! I had a few ideas that would help me take back control, so I passed some of them by the wizards at Sierra. I wanted to find a way to have people e-mail me with new links and updates for current links that would be easy for each of you and would make things quicker and easier to deal with from my end. Here is what we came up with: Each of the category pages on Cyndi's List now has three new links at the top and at the bottom of the page: Submit a New Link Report a Broken Link Update a Link 1. How to Submit a New Link to Cyndi's List If you know of a web site that isn't yet included on Cyndi's List, please make note of the address and send it to me. Please see: Submit a New Link to Cyndi's List http://www.CyndisList.com/newlink.htm The new link will be reported to me and I will add it to the list as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that these pages are here to help me control the large amounts of incoming e-mail I am receiving. Also, please remember that I am only one person and that I am doing my best to keep up with all requests. Therefore, please do not submit a new link more than once. Please do not submit a new link repetitively because you think I may have lost your original request. Every new e-mail message I receive takes time for me to deal with and can keep me from getting to your original request, as well as the requests I get from hundreds of other people each day. 2. How to Update an Existing Link on Cyndi's List If you have a new address for a web site already linked on Cyndi's List, or if you have an updated description or information to accompany a link, please use the link on each category page titled: Update a Link. A new copy of the category page will be generated, including a broken link picture next to each link. Click on the broken link picture next to the link that you would like to have updated. On the next page, enter the updated information and click the update button. The updated information for the link will be reported to me and I will take care of it as soon as possible. 3. How to Report a Broken Link Found on Cyndi's List If you find a link on Cyndi's List that isn't working, please use the link on each category page titled: Report a Broken a Link. A new copy of the category page will be generated, including a broken link picture next to each link. Click on the broken link picture next to the link that you are reporting as broken. On the next page, enter new, updated information where possible and click the update button. The broken link will be reported to me and I will take care of it as soon as possible. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have also taken two more steps to help the e-mail situation. First, I created a new page with information and guidelines about sending e-mail to me regarding the web site: About Sending E-mail to Cyndi http://www.CyndisList.com/e-mail.htm Then, I linked this page to each of the spots where my e-mail address appears on the web site. That way people will have a chance to read the various guidelines before sending me e-mail. This should help to cut down on some of the e-mail I have been receiving which have questions that can be answered by reading other pages contained on the web site. I would like to make one final plea regarding my e-mail. The changes I've made are designed to help me control the time I'm spending on e-mail. I honestly feel that my time is better spent by working on the web site, adding new links and correcting broken links. I appreciate hearing from all of you and I enjoy all the new friends I've made online. I wish I could spend more time corresponding with many of you each day. However, as stated in a few places on the web site, there is only one of me and there are thousands of you. So please review the guidelines on "About Sending E-mail to Cyndi" and keep my daily workload in mind whenever you write to me. Thank you for taking the time to help me in this! I hope that the new changes are as helpful to you as they will be for me. There are a few more changes that I'm working on right now and hope to have online soon. I'll post another message here when they are ready. Successful surfing, Cyndi [email protected] http://www.CyndisList.com
