Hi all, Just to clarify about the Clearfield County Mailing list..... The Rootsweb/Ancestry Message Board message do not get posted to this mailing list. The "gateway" between the Rootsweb/Ancestry Message Board is not "turned on". I encourage you to utilize the message boards set up for the Clearfield County Genealogy Project at http://www.pa-roots.org/data/index.php?246 There is lots of good information there...

Isn't it WELTY? Jim, are you trying to drive us all mad? It's a short trip, you know. And, also, to all the folks on the mailing list. If you respond by Reply or Reply to All, your reply still doesn't go back on the message boards. And that is where a lot of these original inquiries have been posted. We seem to receive forwarded messages from the Sonoma message board to the Sonoma mailing list, but we are not linked back to it in return. If you want the original poster to see your reply you have to go to the message board, it won't work to just reply via this mailing list. I think that explains why some of the messages lately have seemed to disregard input from some of us. They perhaps were never received by the intended researcher, they just keep coming back to the mailing list, but not to the message board which alerts the original poster that a reply has been made. And, also, when you go to the message boards, you now have to register or sign in, in order to reply. It's not tricky, but if you don't put at least your email address in the public profile text box, you will be listed as "choosing to remain anonymous". I put just my email in the box, and now when you click on my name, which is Jababe, then my email will be displayed. I hope it is really that simple to get things back flowing the way they were.
