FIND UNTOLD RICHES IN THE MAILING LIST ARCHIVES  Currently, there exist messages in the Mailing List Archives 7.7 million e-mails from RootsWeb's 15,000+ archived mailing lists. Some of these messages date back to 1987. Many messages, even those a decade old, contain vital genealogical information. There are currently two ways to search these messages:

1. The Mailing List Threaded Archives contains 2.2 million of the most recent e-mail messages from all of RootsWeb's archived mailing lists. One can search all of these messages with a single search at https://lists.rootsweb.com/hyperkitty/search.html  The Interactive Search of Mailing Lists provides access to all 7.7 million e-mail messages in the Mailing List Archives; however, the search process is more labor intensive. One must perform a separate search for each mailing list and for each year that such mailing list is archived. In addition, one must first know the name of the mailing list that one wishes to search. All genealogy-related mailing lists on RootsWeb are located at https://sites.rootsweb.com/~maillist/.
2. In addition to surname related lists there are regional, country, state, county, ethnic group, and topic-related lists. Once a list is located, the user can search it one year at a time at https://mailinglists.rootsweb.com/listindexes/. Do not forget to search all the years for which the list has been archived.

When choosing a promising list to search, it pays to be creative and thorough. When looking for a particular ancestor, check out not only surname-related lists but also lists that relate to country of origin, places of habitation, migration routes, ethnic group, UseNet NewsGroup topics, and general interest topics (such as the Roots-L list at http://searches.rootsweb.com/roots-l.html). Wonderful gems turn up in the most unlikely places. Nevertheless, please remember that one must often mine a great deal of ore in order to find a diamond.

• The GOSE Mailing List is an e-mail list used to communicate genealogical research information or tips regarding Gose Family Genealogy for ANY and ALL persons researching Gose genealogy or any other genealogy related to same.
• Included are variations of this surname as sometimes found in various county documents and records, e.g. Goos, Goss, Gost, Ghost, Gase, and Gore.
• The list is hosted by members of the GOSE family and/or descendants thereof, in association with The GOSE Surname Resource Center (GOSE Family Website).
• The list also functions somewhat as a "Newsletter" in that it is used to communicate new discoveries of general interest to Gose researchers or to advise when new information is posted to the Gose Query Board or website.
• You must be a subscriber to post messages to the mailing list.

We also administer a GOSE Genealogical Query Board for the purpose of helping to gather new information on Gose family genealogy and to help clear up any discrepancies or confusion on Gose or related genealogy.

The difference between the mailing list and the query board lies mainly in the scope of information communicated. While you may select to have automatic notification by email, of any postings to the GOSE Query Board, the GOSE Mailing List is used to communicate a broader range of information including anything of more general interest that may be posted to the query boards, etc.
