Perhaps some form of a compromise can be reached here. Could the person(s) posting post only to the state list i.e. VERMONT or New Hampshire and send a short note to the other lists, such as "Information about Weathersford is posted on VERMONT-L?" That way those who want to look at them could, while the rest of us could get on with pursuing those elusive rascals, our ancestors, WITHIN Caledonia Co. I must admit that I haven't found the postings very profitable since there have been what seem to me to be stern warnings that the author will not do look ups or provide more info than that which is posted, which is often too incomplete in info to be useful. It can be expensive in terms of on-line time and printing. Also, we Vermont descendants seem to come from big families, often with fairly common last names, and sometimes when I recognize a last name, it is either not mine at all or so far removed collaterally as to not be useful.

[snip] Hi, Sir James and list: Asking me for comments is a dangerous thing. <grin> ---------- I find that the value of forwarding (and, for that matter cross-posting) is INCREASED by the following factors: The original list is more specialized than the receiving list. E.g., a message forwarded from a town-specific list to a state list. The original list has a different subject type than the receiving list, e.g. from a surname list to a regional list. The message has a clear connection with the list to which forwarded. I don't think "families were known to move from County A to County B" qualifies as a clear connection, the way I intend the phrase. The original list is likely not known, or readily available, to the users of the list to which the message is forwarded. The person who forwards or cross-posts has asked the opinion of the receiving list's members before perpetrating the deed. An example of an excellent forwarding (which has not occurred, to my knowledge) would be one from the KNOWLTON list, kept on the Benetech corporate system (thank you, Benetech!) to the VTWINDSO-L list, containing a discussion in depth of several families connected to the Knowltons in Weathersfield, Vermont. ---------- I find that forwarded or cross-posted messages are DECREASED in value by the lack of the above-mentioned qualities, and by the following as well: The message is a virus alert, even if it is 24-karat solid gold accurate with platinum highlights. I'll get that information somewhere else, thank you! Communications garbage has not been edited out of the forwarded message. (The accretion of communications gobbledy-gook can reach such proportions that I will refuse to read past it, unless the message is from a family member. In that case, I read it but grumble back at them.) If you are reading this and don't know how to do what I am suggesting, I would be GENUINELY HAPPY to write to you explaining how to do it, and/or answer any and all questions about the process, even help you do testing if your program hides the stuff from you!!! The original message is mostly irrelevant to the receiving list, and the forwarding person has not edited the irrelevant portion(s), or even pointed out why the message is being forwarded and where in it to look for the connection. ---------- Given the above factors, and that I subscribe to: the Vermont list; the lists for Vermont counties Windham, Windsor, Orange, Caledonia, and Rutland; and the Connecticut River Valley list; my opinion of the recent spate of messages in question may be accurately deduced. I do NOT think forwarding or cross-posting should be banned outright. Darrell Darrell A. Martin formerly of Springfield, Vermont currently in exile in Addison, Illinois [email protected]

As I also subscribe to the VT and CT roots lists, I get three of the same postings. They do need editing to get rid of the extraneous formatting that comes along. Don't most people on Caledonia list also subscribe to VT? I would suggest the forwards only be sent to the VT list, then all the others interested in VT lineages will see them. I do appreciate the person's thoughtfulness in forwarding, as CT is where most of our roots are. GMBy ----- Original Message ----- From: Bradford G.

Bonnie, I notice you have Piper as a name you are resesearching in Caledonia County. So perhaps you have further family info on Samuel Piper, born March 1824, died 2 Sep 1850? He married Satira Hannah Huntley, born 14 Dec 1830 in Newark, Caledonia, VT. They were married 23 Sep 1846 in St. Johnsbury, Caledonia, VT. I believe Samuel Piper was a shoemaker in St. Johnsbury. Does he fit into your Pipers?

If we're positive the message has a specific connection to Caledonia, I have no problem with a forward. Otherwise, I don't think it's appropriate. Yes, families did migrate from other locations, and clues are helpful, but let's make sure there IS a Caledonia link, if we decide to forward. And I'd like to see long headers edited down to just the bare facts, like the e-mail address of the poster, and perhaps the date of the posting. A general message to the list, with sub info to other lists that we might be interested in, would serve the same purpose as forwarding large amounts of mail from that list. The "just delete it if you receive duplicates" argument, is the very reason that we have many many small lists in the first place, rather than one huge list. Years ago, the only list available was Roots-L. It was a great list, however, you received large amounts of mail from everyone in the *world*, most of it of no specific interest to your own research, so there were large amounts that had to be deleted every day. The smaller surname and location lists allow us to only receive mail about people and places we're actually researching, without wasting time deleting unwanted mail. Several years ago I lived through the flame war of the "just delete it" people, against the "let's split into several smaller specific lists" people, and it was not pleasant. For me, the multiple smaller lists where I can choose the mail I want to read is a much better system. Just my opinions, since you asked.

per your request, I would like to send a comment about the Connecticut list and Salem Witches. For myself I find it very informative and fun to read, after all it is history and none of us really know if maybe even one relative may have came from that area if would be a great discovery. Would like to also comment about the Burlington Newspaper Listings, these are very informative and again fun to read. I have been seeking information about my great grandmother ( her background) there in Vermont, for about 19 yrs and have found nothing at all, and believe I have tried everything. So I faithfully read all messages from Chittenden County or anywhere in Vermont even though she had lived in St. Johnsbury before marriage. So I think we should really THANK these 2 ladies for their time and efforts by sharing this information with us all. Please keep it going. Thank you, Charlene Tobin Rodriguez [email protected]

Let's see here if I'm clear about what you're asking. The question is do I appreciate/like/want posts from another rootsweb mailing list also posted to this list because they are migration-related? My thoughts are everyone had to get to Caledonia County from somewhere, so what other lists shall we invite to post here too? How about every county in Massachusetts while we're at it, cover all our bases. What I'm really wondering is why not just join the other mailing list and never miss a thing - or is that too obvious? Although I am hungry for information on my family lines from Caledonia County (Huntley, Miner, Hartwell, Hill, Cole) and appreciate a few posts letting me know of related rootsweb mailing lists I could join (okay, highly related), I joined Caledonia County because I want Caledonia County info. I am open to receiving lower Connecticut River info (and all/any info) if it specifically relates to Caledonia County.

There are some very well stated comments (both for and against) arising from the original posting about the migration of settlers up the Connecticut River. One additional thought - assume that I. as a researcher, have been subscribed to a number of lists and suddenly come across a posting on one of those lists that might be "offtopic" but contains a thread that points me in a new direction. I would be very appreciative that the person who did submitted that post had helped me find something that had eluded me. Lets keep helping others in their research. Bob Goss

Jim -- everyone who came to Caledonia Co., VT came here from somewhere else. Most who settled in Sheffield came from NH. But NH and most of its counties have their own lists, and if I want data or information from them, I subscribe to those lists. I really don't need people forwarding NH messages to the Caledonia list. If someone sees a message on another list, which pertains to a SPECIFIC individual in Caledonia, I think reference to it would be appropriate. But not to families. If I started forwarding every message I see on the families of Berry, Gray, Chesley, Hill, Foss, Libby, etc., the archives would be clogged, and delete keys would neeed replacement. Harman Clark

In my own family research we have several family lines that moved north along the CT River Valley and settled in both Orange and Caledonia Counties.

I would like to disagree with Mr. Falter. As owner of the Barnet and Waterford pages on VTGENWEB, all of the original settlers of those towns migrated either up the Connecticut River from Mass. and Conn. or came overland via Concord, and Haverhill, NH. I think it very pertinent to genealogical research to have additional clues as to where and/or how the original settlers of Caledonia County arrived. While I can understand Mr. Falter's feelings on the subject, I do not wish to see a curtailment of valuable information. In posting your submissions, please do keep them to the topic of genealogy.
