Discussion Lists for BROYLES, WILHITE, GERMANNA COLONIES, and other related groups.

I have originated a Mail Server List for the BROYLES and WILHITE (WILHOIT) Families. For those of you not familiar with Family Lists, this is an area on the Internet where interested parties may exchange data and information, exchange ideas, ask for help in genealogy research, and provide information for others. In general, it is just a way of having a semi-private place to exchange information. Unlike the UseNet Groups, it is not a place where teen-age nerds (and sometimes adult nerds) will SPAM their unwanted junk, profanity, and obscenities. You may post on the Mail Server Lists in relative privacy -- so far I have not seen an unwanted e-mail "SPAM" on the Lists. If you respond to another user, it is preferable that you do so via private e-mail, unless what you post is applicable to all users, then you would repond back to the Mail Server List.

For help in learning about Mail Server Lists, how to use them, how to subscribe/unsubscribe, and other commands that you need to learn to successfully use the lists, go to The Listserver Help Page. This is a service provided by a list user who felt that others might benefit from some help. I strongly recommend that you visit this Help Page, as it will benefit you greatly in the future.

In addition to the Family Mail Server Lists, there are many STATE Roots areas available to you as a genealogy researcher. These are areas where people of a like mind may do the same things they do on the Mail Server Lists, except the audience is much larger. For instance, you can post to TNROOTS, asking for information on specific ancestors and all subscribers to TNROOTS will read your e-mail. If any researcher has the information you need, he/she can respond to you via private e-mail.

There is a new list called GERMANNA-COLONIES List. This is a discussion area for all who are interested in doing research on any of the immigrants (and their descendants) from either the First or Second Germanna Colony. This should prove invaluable to all.

I hope you find the Family Lists and States Lists as useful as I have in doing genealogy research. This Family Lists and States Lists have been invaluable tools and provide much needed services.

Thanks go out to the folks at RootsWeb, for generously donating space for these Lists, and to Larry Stevens, who is a genious without peer. He started this whole "List" thing and has brought along his expertise to RootsWeb.

Since I maintain the BROYLES List, you may find it necessary to contact me from time to time about problems, questions, etc. concerning the lists. You may send e-mail to me at:
