JOHN-L, JOHN-D Mail List
Over 7 years strong and 8 databases
long, we have 10,691 genealogical
messages posted from which your questions
may be answered. And, we're adding more
daily!
Please keep your mailing list posts to
the topic of family surname genealogy.
Should you have any concerns or questions,
please send your eMail to the appropriate
address listed at the bottom of this page.
Your comments are important to us and by
helping you, we help the group, too.
Spammers will be counseled and
subsequently censured.
The JOHN-L mail
list is to be used for genealogical
purposes related to the research of the
surnames Johnes, Johne, Johns, John and
variations. It can also be used for
messages of sympathy, and friendship
related to our genealogical work -- but
not to include personal chit chat and
individual messages between members.
"Thank yous" and personal
messages between members are to be
handled by direct eMail messages between
the interested individuals.
If you are unfamiliar with mailing
lists or RootsWeb's mailing lists format,
every mailing list really has two
addresses -- the list name (where
messages are sent), and the list name
followed by "-request" (where
commands to the listserver are sent). For
additional information about RootsWeb's
mailing lists, please refer to the What
Are Mailing Lists or Subscribe/Unsubscribe
Tips. Please read on for a
"How To" walk-through of our JOHN-L mailing list.
You may subscribe to and unsubscribe
from our mailing list in only one of two
formats. "List Mode" means that
each time someone posts a message to the
list you will receive this post as a
separate eMail message. "Digest Mode"
means you will receive all of the posts
to the list, but these posts are grouped
into a single eMail message that is sent
once or twice a day. There is an index
that accompanies this single eMail
message that shows you the subject lines
of all of the grouped posts.
The subscribe and unsubscribe messages
will be automatically handled by RootsWeb
and you will receive a confirmation
message with complete instructions.
If you wish to change the mailing list
mode format of your subscription, simply
unsubscribe from one mode before you
subscribe to the other mode. You will not
be able to subscribe to one mode while
subscribed to the other mode. As a result,
you will be unable to receive messages
from the list.
Accuracy when entering a mailing list's
name is practical, as it is wise. The
mailing list's name is "case
sensitive". If the list name appears
in upper case, your eMail message must
show the text in upper case. If the list
name appears in lower case, your eMail
message must show the text in lower case.
