I prefer the Whittington header.... Often times I delete list email if there is no header and an incomplete subject line. It makes it much easier to hand all your emails. Carolyn

Jan Craig, Ashton, Chester, England

Hi Jan, Good I finally found someone else researching Whittingtons in England. All I have found on Rootsweb.. are people who are looking for Whittingtons in the U.S.A. Well, your group is in Lancshire ...( being a Canadian) I am not familiar with the English geography ...how far from W. Sussex? .. Maybe a bit too far north.!!!!!! If you can trace your branch southward to W.Sussex then maybe we can "play ball" together.

Hi Beverly, In most email clients you can also "filter" the FROM: or TO: lines also. You might want to consider "filtering" everything that arrives addressed TO: [email protected] and moving it to a folder of your choice. That way all your mail from that list would be segregated without have to look at [WHITTINGTON-L] in every email you get from that list. Just a thought....:-) Norm ----- Original Message ----- From: "Beverly" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 12, 2001 12:37 AM Subject: Header - Whittington > Tom, > > I personally prefer the Whittington to show - in the header.

Tom, I personally prefer the Whittington to show - in the header. I have only one email account I can configure to "filter" that way - and I tend to delete anything that does not have a clear subject line.(and most people don't use the subject line to it's best advantage!) I have this problem with lists in Lincoln and Lawrence Counties in Mississippi - I delete most without realizing it might be something I want to see! So, if you take a vote - count me FOR using the switch to add Whittington in the header!

Lance, Lovell, et al .... there is a "switch" I can set that would prefix the word [WHITTINGTON] to the subject of every message sent through this list -- but I personally dislike that and prefer to rather use the filter approach. One example for not doing that: if you use the subject "1850 census" and want to search or sort your mailboxes for it .... If that is prefixed with names from lists you participate in, they won't sort together ... i.e. these are not the same: 1850 census [WHITTINGTON]1850 census A filter that looks at "any header" or solely at the "From" field for any occurrence of the name Whittington and that directing the email to a separate mailbox should solve the problem.

Hmmm, this sounds like a personal problem, calling for a personal solution. Rather than asking all the members of this mailing list to waste bandwidth by including the name of the list, (less the -L,) in the subject line, may I suggest that you: set your browser to display all headers. see all the places the name WHITTINGTON appears. note one or more of the header labels that contain WHITTINGTON. create a message filter that directs incoming mail with WHITTINGTON following the header label(s) noted above to an appropriate place on your computer. I hope this will resolve your problem. Regards, Lance E. Whittington Lovell Lee wrote: > > Could I ask those of you sending email to me to put Whittington in the > subject line?

Could I ask those of you sending email to me to put Whittington in the subject line? My wife and I share this email address that would help us know to whom the mail is directed.

Posted on: Whittington Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/FamilyAssoc/Whittington/10099 Surname: WHITTINGTON, DAWSON, HUTSON ------------------------- For all you Whittington researchers out there - here is a real challenge! My family has been looking for Richard Ann Whittington, b ca 1831 in VA/WVA (yes, that is her name) for over 30 years. She married John DAWSON, 4/23/1851 in Allegany County, Md. I was informed by a previous researcher that if she couldn't find Richard Ann's parents, then I probably couldn't find them either. Help-- I want to prove her wrong!! Mamie

Hello Tom: Just a brief "thank you" for your Whittington page. I use it often and have referred others to it. No reply needed. Thanks again. Bill Whittington in Maryland.

If you know of anyone who served in Korea and did not return, please visit http://www.koreanwar.org. You can search by last name, state or service. Please pass on to other lists. I bet we can find a lot of the guys or at least give a few clues! REVERSE GENEALOGY TO FIND FAMILIES OF KOREAN WAR SOLDIERS by Megan Smolenyak [email protected] Recently I had the thrill of finding the 100-year-old mother of one of "my" soldiers alive and hoping for word of her son. She was born at the turn of the 20th century and had lost her son at the midpoint (the sad date of 2 November 1950 is still firmly engrained in the family's collective memory), but she never lost hope that she would at least learn what had become of him or be able to give him a proper burial. Now, she may finally get her wish. Half a century after the conflict, there are still approximately 8,100 servicemen unaccounted for from the Korean War. Of these, 6,318 served in the US Army. The Repatriation and Family Affairs Division is responsible for locating and reestablishing communications with the families of these soldiers, and I am fortunate enough to be one of the genealogists to help them with this undertaking. When a family is located, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) testing is used in an attempt to make an identification, and when a match occurs, the soldier can finally be put to rest with full military honors. The work is often challenging, given that the soldiers' files generally have rather limited family information. In most cases, they include the names of a parent and perhaps another relative. Not surprisingly, many of these kinfolk have passed away over the last 50 years. Others have left the area where the family lived around 1950. Since mtDNA testing requires following the soldier's maternal line, the researcher also has to deal with several generations of name changes for the women in the family. By way of example, one case of a soldier from Illinois resulted in six DNA-eligible people with five different surnames (none of them the same as the soldier) now living in Illinois, California, Arizona, and Oregon. Because of the need to work from the past to the present and the emphasis on maternal lines, I refer to this kind of research as "reverse genealogy." Because of the intensive nature of "reverse" genealogy, I get to know these families quite well over time -- sometimes learning more than they know about their own extended clan -- and I consequently develop a sense of connection to "my" soldiers. After having resolved more than 40 cases, I am still elated each time I make contact with a family for the first time. Even so, there are still more than 4,000 soldiers whose families have not yet been located and just maybe you hold the key to one or two of these. If you know of anyone who served in Korea and did not return, please visit http://www.koreanwar.org . On this site, you can search for any soldier by his name. Once you locate him, you can leave a remembrance. By doing so -- and providing any details you can recall about the soldier's family, or at least your own contact information for follow-up -- may help solve a case. The tiniest tidbit -- an old address, a middle initial, the soldier's school -- can be that vital, missing clue. If you see a "DNA" tag next to the soldier's name, this means that this family is actively being sought at this moment. If it is, it is even more urgent for you to leave a remembrance or contact the US Army directly at 1-800-892-2490. Together, we can honor the memories of these soldiers and bring some long-awaited resolution to their families. Written by Megan Smolenyak [email protected] Previously published by Julia M.

Dear friends & cousins, I have purchased a domain name (well, actually, two) and a hosting service. http://mykindred.com Now we have a permanent/mirror site for the Cloud Family Association, and my pages for my BUMSTEAD, WHITTINGTON & WIESS research are now back on-line (after genweb.net apparently went toes up!). This is a new effort and may well be buggy -- please check it out and help me with it ..... contributions, corrections, suggestions, etc. It is my intention to add my SEYBOLD and some other lines to it as well.
