Would love to share information with anyone who has any of these people in their family... Joyce

I think the obits should remain on the list but I have a suggestion.  Instead of sending out several emails of obits a day maybe they could be combined and sent out in one email.   If you're not interested in reading them, they're easy to detect & can be deleted.

Well, it seems that someoneee had a beeeeeee in their bonnet over this. If I offended anyone with my question, I apologize. I did not intend to say that MO doesnt mind this list faithfully. I was just questioning if anyone else felt as I did that CURRENT obits were not exactly in line with tracing one's family HISTORY. So far, I've received about half for and half opposed to the current obits. So as Im simply a lister like everyone else, I shall continue to delete them as I get them. Thanks for your time.

I have assumed the responsibility for the orphaned list ROOSA-L. If any of you have that lineage please register for that service by sending a message to ROOSA-L-Request@Rootsweb.com with the word "subscribe" as the only word in the body of the message. That address is intended for commands to the Rootsweb computer - no human intervention - it automatically recognizes the word "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" and take action. Dick Rose, List Manager

I for one would be very dissappointed if the obits were to stop being posted. I recently found one of a great aunt that provided a great deal of information I did not have on my cousins. Please keep on posting! Thanks Jackie

I can not believe that people are complaining about Obituary postings on a genealogy list is "like" junk mail. "What is genealogy?" I have been a member of this list for over two years, and appreciate the time and energy someone puts into this list. All postings are archived, and will help someone today, yesterday, or years down the line. I have the feeling that some people think family research is so easy, that they can just post a "I am looking for ABC Rose" period and expect all their family info will come to them by "THE List". I have not found any of "my" ROSE family members that have been lost from these postings.. YET... but hope to. I think that people who are whinning about this, should start posting, reposting and quering IN DETAIL about their ROSE family they are searching for. I am more tired of reading... " I am looking for John Rose family somehwere in Michigan. Can any of you help?" No time frame, no area mentioned, but just a state (if we are lucky). I say MO.... good job, thank you for all the time and research you do for this list. Keep it going, no one else contributes an ounce compared to your tons!! After all... this IS an archive list. I appreciate you for all your time and energy you put into this list.

And then maybe we'll miss the one vital link we've been looking for all these years... er... My vote is to keep them...

I stopped saving them, as they are being posted to another list where I can get access. Su in Denver Mitakuye Oyasin

Nancy, I really like them. I think that we should keep them. I have found a couple to be usefull in my hunt. Thanks, Julie

Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone else feels like I do about the "current obits"? I dont see them as being at all useful on a genealogy mailing list. In fact, I think they are sort of like junkmail. Could we possibly eliminate those from this list?
