These are the archives available to all rootsweb researchers. REGULAR ARCHIVES: These appear on the web page: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?surname=OCONNOR-TIPP You do NOT need a user name or password. They are "searchable" by keyword but are not "threaded". If I enter my Timothy O'CONNOR, I will get a list of all messages posted to the list where Timothy or O'CONNOR appears in the subject line. THREADED ARCHIVES: These appear on the web page: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/OCONNOR-TIPP-L/ You DO need a user name and password. (the archive will prompt you to enter one, if you don't have one there is a button to set create one, and you will have immediate access). You will use it each time you visit the archives (regardless of which mailing list). These are archives created by Rootsweb's Marc Nozell who has been working for over a year on an efficient and research-friendly archiving system for the mailing lists. What is "threaded"? When a message is posted to the list and no one answers it ("replies" to it), it is a single or unthreaded message. When a message is posted to the list, and one or more people answer it, reply to the reply, etc. - it becomes a "message thread" - that is, the messages are connected to each other (via the computer system). These archives were just established so there aren't archives earlier than around Feb. 1999. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pat (Patraigin) Connors, California Siochain Leat (peace be with you) Researching: Connors/O'Connor, McEntee, Campbell, Flynn/O'Flynn, Smith, Phillips, Carter, Boyle, O'Rourke, Healey, Cullinan, Hoare, Todd, Owen, Booth, Gallagher, Fahey http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/o/n/Pat-Connors/ mailto:nymets@pcweb.net Volunteer of Random Genealogical Kindness at http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnraogk/index.htm ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
