Last week my computer scrambled some of my saved digests. I posted a request for someone to send me the digests. (Thanks to those who responded) I received the following info on how to obtain the archived digests from Rootsweb (Thanks, Sallie!!) and it worked great so wanted to forward this info to the lists I am on. Hope it will be of help to others. Happy Hunting, Becky G. <snipped> --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- From: Sallie Hobbs <[email protected]> Date: Mon, 06 Apr 1998 01:09:40 -0500 While the archives web site is being rebuilt, you can retrieve archives easily by email. IMPORTANT! Please remember ALL archive searches and retrievals are sent to the list command address (the one you used when you subbed; the one with "request" (no quotes) in the address) with the word "archive" (without the quotes) in the subject line. As always, there must be NOTHING but the command in the body text. Turn off your signature. The archives are in DIGEST form, but you Don't need to subscribe to the digest mode in order to retrieve a digest. If You Don't Know The Digest You Need: Using the MILLER list as an example: Send a message to: [email protected] with: "archive" (no quotes) in the subject Put: "ls volume98" in the body (that is a lower case "ell" in the command): ls volume98 (no space between volume and 98) You get back via email: From: [email protected] Date: Fri, 13 Feb 1998 07:38:25 -0800 (PST) To: [email protected] X-Loop: [email protected] Reply-To: [email protected] Subject: archive retrieval: ls volume98 Precedence: bulk ls -l volume98 BEGIN---------------cut here------------------ total 102 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 3194 Jan 4 15:56 1 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 5291 Feb 8 09:52 10 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 1855 Jan 8 05:49 2 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 3898 Jan 9 13:40 3 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 11255 Jan 12 22:00 4 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 3095 Jan 23 18:42 5 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 2801 Jan 27 06:29 6 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 2888 Jan 30 07:34 7 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 10856 Jan 31 09:30 8 -rw-rw---- 1 slist slist 2166 Feb 5 00:32 9 END-----------------cut here------------------ Looking at the dates of the digest, you determine that you want #9 Aand #10 (Feb. 5 and Feb. 8)). The file # is the last entry on each line. To Request The Digest You Want From the above list or if you already know which digest you want(as I did): Send a NEW message to [email protected] (DON'T just reply to the message you received from them) Put: "archive" in the subject (again no quotes) In the body of the message you will put which digests you want as below: (Note: there is NO space between the word "volume" and "98".) get volume98/9 get volume98/10 You will get digests #9 and #10 by email. A shortcut is if you are retrieving ALL the digest in a "set", for instance, all the digests numbered "20, 21, etc.), you could enter: get volume98/2* "*" is a UNIX wild-card meaning "any character"; "2*" will expand to 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 _____________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.

Dear Y'all, I spent most of the weekend working on the MGS web site. LOTS of updates. Especially to... o The Meeting Hall o The Wall Calendar o The Image Gallery o The Board Room o The Classroom o The Neighbor's Yard o The Map Room o The Link Exchange (just a little bit on this one). Too much new and different for me to detail in this e-mail so, get a favorite beverage and surf around the site for a while. I added a lot, updated a lot, linked a lot, and rearranged a lot. More to do, but, alas, Monday is here again. Don't forget our Monthly Gathering next Saturday. I'll see all you locals there! (Out-of-town members will be there in spirit, as always!) And remember to pay a visit to our SURNAME SEARCH ENGINE on our Computer Center page (even if you have checked it before), because we upload updates every few days. Thanks for reading this. Take care and happy rooting! 8-) -- Regards, Kevin Sellew *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* President of the Mobile (Alabama) Genealogical Society and WebMaster for the Mobile Genealogical Society Web Site On the Web: http://www.siteone.com/clubs/mgs/ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Check out the new Lanark County Genealogy Society web-site. http://globalgenealogy.com/LCGS The LCGS is an active and enthusiastic genealogical society based in one of Ontario's earliest settled counties. Early settlement began in the 1816 to 1820 period with disbanded British soldiers and Swiss mercenaries from the Napolionic war and the War of 1812 who were given land grants to solve domestic economic problems back in the old country and to provide a battle hardened militia to protect Britain's Canadian territories from military invasion from the USA. They were soon followed by Scottish emigrants from the Glasgow area via the work of the Lanark Emigration Societies. There are so many families who came from Comrie Scotland that the two towns of Comrie Scotland and Carleton Place, Ontario have "twinned" and delegations visit back and forth regularly. Hundreds of thousands of descendants of these hardy pioneers now reside across Canada, the USA and beyond..... Visit the site and say "Gidday"!

m. Margaret BROCKET of the BROCKET/BROWNs of Stewarton; father of the Rev. John Brocket RITCHIE of Aberdeen. While my pages are never finished, I have completed a set of pages on this famous and controversial preacher who was a cousin of my ancestor, John RITCHIE of Kilwinning. Included are lineage pages, a family chronology, family documents and biographical notices--of special interest is an article by a contemporary observer who enjoyed profiling Scottish ministers (1842). If there are ministers in your family you may find potential new sources. Plus I think there is some illuminating history offered (I am still working on going into some topics in depth.) The documents also contain a number of unrelated names; if you have family in the locations cited, its worth a look. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5209/ritch/f208dr.htm Marge Jodoin, USA [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/5209/index.html
