Hello, folks, within the next few days, RootsWeb will be changing its mail list software from "Smartlist" to "Mailman". (The software used by the Boards will also be changing but THIS notice deals with the change in List software only.) You can access a software migration schedule that will tell you when to expect this list to be migrated at: http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/migrate_sched.html If you have any questions pertaining to the migration schedule, you can contact me at the admin address for this list: mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME][email protected] . How will this change in maillist software affect you as a user? The plan is "Not Much", but there are a number of changes of which you should be aware: 1. Most importantly, the distinction between "list" mode and "digest" mode will change such that users can only access one of these two modes using a single e-mail address. If you wish to subscribe to both modes, you must do so using two different addresses. 2. As a result, the "list" mode will no longer require the "-L" for subscriptions, unsubscriptions, and to send mail to the list. You will still be able to send messages to the list using the mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME][email protected] address you use now OR you can choose to drop the "-L" and send your messages to mailto:[INSERTLISTNAME]@rootsweb.com . Both addresses will work after the list has been migrated. (The "-D" will still be required for all "digest" mode actions.) 3. The deletion of the "-L" for "list" mode mail means that some of you will have to do some tweaking to your mail filters, but this should not be too onerous a task. 4. Unlike Smartlist, Mailman is more restrictive in respect of subscribes and unsubscribes. To subscribe or unsubscribe, the word SUBSCRIBE or UNSUBSCRIBE MUST now be in the Subject line of the e-mail ... just putting it in the text will be insufficient. On the plus side, there will be a "NO MAIL" mode now! 5. There will also be changes to the way in which (a) bounces, and (b) e-mail address on the "Reject" list are handled ... for example, List Admins. now won't be notified of any bounce until the bounce threshold for the list has been met, at which time the address(es) will be automatically unsubbed. This will take me some getting used to because I won't see from post to post who's bouncing, or why ... Why change at all? The "why" is that Smartlist, the software that is currently used for Rootsweb's lists is not only no longer supported but is held together with generations of bailing wire and bubble gum. The choice to migrate to new software was really no longer a choice, but a necessity if we are to continue to enjoy the ease of doing genealogy via our email in boxes. Take a deep breath. Count to ten. Do not panic. The tutorial (YES, there will be a tutorial available!) is very user-friendly. The software is easy to use. It will take a wee bit of getting accustomed to and life with it will be a bit different. There is also a new list for anyone to ask questions, seek advice, etc., on the new maillist software, and has been designed for list subscribers to discuss the updates and get/give peer assistance in adjusting e-mail filters, etc.: [email protected] (NOTE: No "-L"!! ... subscribe at mailto:[email protected] OR at mailto:[email protected] ). No doubt there will be other things that arise from time to time as well. As we enter this brave new world, pls contact me at the above admin address with any questions ... as usual, I'll try to assist as quickly as possible! Thanks, and continued good hunting! Peter Wyant List Admin.

Folks, RootsWeb's mail servers are being located overnight, Wed to Thu this week, so most of RootsWeb's services, including the HelpDesk, will be down/stopped/off-line during the relocation. RootsWeb's Message Boards <http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/script/main/rw> and World Connect <http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/> will be available as they have already been relocated. E-mail bound for RootsWeb should be held by your ISP automatically until the servers are back on-line and ready to receive e-mail again. If an e-mail does bounce back to you, please hold off re-sending it for a period of six hours. The time scheduled for the servers to be off is Thu, 19 Jan, from midnight until 6 a.m. in Utah (MST). This translates to the starting time in the USA & Canada of Thu, 2 a.m. (EST), 1 a.m. (CST), Wed, 11 p.m. (PST), etc. In the U.K., it's 7 a.m. (GMT); in NZ, 8 p.m. ; in Aus, 6 p.m. (AEDT), all on Thu. There is an associated issue ... As part of the server relocation, there is a "high possibility" that some/all of the servers will be getting new IP addresses. The potential problem is that if particular ISPs have whitelisted current RootsWeb IP addresses, the new addresses might very well be blacklisted unless/until RootsWeb can contact the relevant ISPs to allow mail through unimpeded. RootsWeb and I will be watching for this eventuality on this list ... some patience on your part might be required! Thanks ... any comments to me off-list, please ... Peter List Admin.

Just a routine test, folks, to make sure the list is working correctly ... nothing to be alarmed about. Any comments to me off-list, please. Thanks & regards, Peter List Admin.

Thomson Gale's home page is at: http://www.gale.com/ and details on the 30 databases are at: http://www.gale.com/nlw/ Although several of their databases will be of interest, perhaps the most useful one is: The Times Digital Archive, 1785-1985--which contains every page as published from 200 years of The Times of London. The Times is the "world's newspaper of record" and covers all major international historical events from the French Revolution to the Falklands War. For the first time, users will be able to search the full-text of the entire newspaper, including articles, editorials, birth, death and marriage notices and advertising. If you have relatives who lived in London at some point in time, this database could hold some surprises. Even doing a simple surname search may yield new information about your family. Mark you calendars for log in on April 10th: For more information about The Times Digital Archive: http://www.galegroup.com/Times/ Important Technical Requirements: Here's what you'll need to use these databases: 1. A computer with Internet access 2. A Web browser such as Internet Explorer or Netscape 3. The browser must be configured to accept cookies 4. A monitor configured to have at least 800X600 screen resolution 5. Java script must be enabled in the browser ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE TIMES OF LONDON: "Introducing The Times Digital Archive, the first of several online digitized newspapers from Gale's highly anticipated Historical Newspapers Archive initiative. With The Times Digital Archive, researchers now have an unparalleled opportunity to search and view the best-known and most cited newspaper in the world online in its original published context. Every complete page of every issue of The Times (London) from 1785 to 1985. Every headline, article and image. Every front page, editorial, birth and death notice, advertisement and classified ad that appeared within the pages of The Times (London) will be easily accessible from what promises to be a complete virtual chronicle of history for this period." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please feel free to post any of the "finds" you make from this Thomson Gale week of free access to the list! Good hunting! Peter List Admin.

Hello, folks, it's been some time since we've had a roll call, so let's have one now! Here are the rules: 1. Participation is completely optional! 2. Because I hope we'll have a good response, pls post only the minimum information necessary, which would normally be: - surname(s) of interest (with given names if thought necessary); - date range(s) being researched; and - location(s) of interest; unless you think there's good reason for additional information. 3. Don't consider the roll call necessarily limited to only the surname of THIS list ... sometimes links can be made through multiple surnames 4. If you think you have a "hit" with someone else, pls consider posting the "hit" to the list as well, in case there's more than one person interested! Have fun! Peter List Admin.

Folks, this will be one of those very rare posts from me advising the list about a virus alert. As many of you are likely aware by now, a new type of worm has appeared over the last 24 hours or so that does NOT require an attachment to be opened in order for the virus to be activated. It's called by various names by different AV providers, many of the names "Beagle" or "Bagel", and there are a number of brand new strains, including -O, -P, -Q, -R, -S, and -T. Most newspapers around the world today will have a news report about this new worm, with more details. This post is NOT meant to alarm anyone, and no-one should be alarmed IF (a) you have regularly updated(!) AV software running, and (b) if running in an Microsoft Windows environment, you regularly download and install the most current MS patches. For further information on this (and all other) virus threats, pls see: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ For further information on available MS patch downloads, pls see: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp Thanks, and as Phil Esterhaus used to say, "Hey, let's be careful out there!" Peter Wyant List Admin. p.s. any comments to me off-list, please.

Folks, just doing a test ... nothing to worry about. Thanks, Peter Wyant List Admin.
