Chuck: I am on both the Carter and Wallace lists. Like many folks, I stay very, very busy and don't often have time to participate actively. I would like to see more activity on both lists but don't feel knowledgeable enough to contribute a great deal. Is there a Wallace DNA project? And I would also like to know who on your Carter list is a participant in the Carter DNA project. I was a Carter by marriage and my son participated in the DNA testing in the hopes we could get past our dead-end. Unfortunately, it presented more questions than answers. For Wallace and Carter researchers, here is a link to a document with a mention of both surnames that may be beneficial to some. (From another researcher.) http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Judy Solis ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Carter To: WALLACE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 7:12 PM Subject: [WALLACE-L] [ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE] Checking & Testing......... Questions regarding the Status of the following family discussion groups: CARTER Family Disucssion Lists HARDIN Family Discussion Lists WALLACE Family Discussion Lists These lists, when I formed them 10 years ago (in 1996) used to be very active. As of late, I rarely see any traffic and don't think there has been a message in weeks. Is it worthwhile keeping these lists active? Have they become obsolete with the advent of the web based message boards of a number of years back and should they be closed down? Even I am not as active in the day to day use & management of these family lists as I used to be. I'm asking because I need your opinion. Please don't be shy, your participation is needed. When I initially started on my journey tracing my family background, ancestors, etc, I found these lists very helpful in my endeavors. Have they out lived their usefulness?
