We are pleased to announce the formation of a new list. Long Canes. It will
deal with the area around modern-day McCormick & Abbeville Counties SC
where the Long Cane Creek is located. Many early families started in this
area. Some remained in the area and many spread westward. 

Below is listed instructions on how to join the list from John Calvin
Grier, list owner. 

Come and join us as we learn/share about this area!

>Dear Friends of Historic Long Cane,
>   There has been a major change in the way this E-Mail List will work
>from now on. I have hooked us up with rootsweb.com. Since no one has
>used the name yet, our list is called LONGCANE. If you are not familiar
>with rootsweb.com, you can find out more at their website. They have
>lists for families/areas all over the world. I hope this will increase
>our exposure to them and theirs to us.
>   If you have never used a listserver before, I will give you a brief
>summery. More instructions are available at rootsweb.com or any other
>listserver on the Internet.
>   To receive all the messages sent to the list you must subscribe to
>the list. This is done by sending an e-mail to the following address:
>
>                  [email protected]
>
>   The subject of the message doesn't matter, but the body of the
>message must contain the word SUBSCRIBE and nothing else. You will
>receive a message from rootsweb telling you that you have sucessfully
>subscribed to LONGCANE-L, how to unsubscribe, and how to subscribe to
>the digest version of the list.
>  The e-mail address for our list is:
>
>                    [email protected]
>
>   To send a message to everone subscribed to the list, just e-mail to
>that address. The listserver will take care of the rest. Put this
>address in your e-mail address book.
>   Our listserver is up and working at this time. I have already
>subscribed myself and tested it. I will be the technical contact for the
>listserver.
>   Here is the address of a page with all the US based lists on
>rootsweb. We will not appear on this list for a few weeks because we are
>brand new. When we do, we will be listed along with the others from
>South Carolina.
>
>         https://sites.rootsweb.com/~maillist/us/index.html
>
>   The digest version of any list will periodically send a summery of
>the messages to the list, but not the individual messages as they are
>sent.
>   I hope this change will be useful to everyone.
