Rootsweb ending plan with links and new groups

This is the notice from Rootsweb: Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on
RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming
emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing
lists will be put into an archival state. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and
searchable on RootsWeb.

I’ve been moderating this group for 15 years and it’s been a great group and helped so many all these
years to research their English speaking, protestant ancestors in Missisquoi county area of Quebec. We
have also used this mailing list to organize volunteers all over the world who have transcribed tens of
thousands of parish records, directories, census, various lists, notary records and newspaper listings .
So we have to continue our work… These are the 3 things we (YOU AND I ) need to do. ALL OF THIS
INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED ON BLOG WITH LIVE LINKS to our blog !

First:
I have bought our domain (webpage) we are on BlogSpot now
http://missisquoigenealogy.blogspot.com/ but I think we should now own our name and webpage. You
can donate to these costs by sending me a donation on PayPal paypal.me/nancycunningham (you
can cut and paste this text ) or just send to cunningb2@gmail.com or Missisquoigenealogy@gmail.com
Email me if you want to send a check or you could even send an Amazon gift card send card to
cunningb2@gmail.com . Thank You! Our blog has 200 page views per day and over 5,000 last month --so
we help many, many people researching in this area.

Second:
I have created a email group on the IO platform, many of the Rootsweb groups are moving to IO
platform. I can’t afford the $250.00 per year for a premium site, but we do have a nice working basic
membership- I can’t import the mailing list without being a premium member so you’ll need to go to
page and sign up yourself.

Third:
I have created a newsletter. I thought I’d like to send an email newsletter occasionally with information,
news and volunteer projects, maybe a few times a year.
Sign up here : https://mailchi.mp/a39b6681d9df/missisquoigenealogy

This maybe the last time I can contact you this way, so SAVE this email and do the 3 things above and
you will stay connected to this research/volunteer group and continue to help people research in this
area. Thank you all so much – see you on the other side of the bridge! ;-) Thanks, Nancy Cunningham
You can always email me: cunningb2@gmail.com

I don’t use Facebook but we have a page /group and you can use it:

This was first post on our mailing list 15 years ago

Stanbridge research page announced ! by Nancy Cunningham
Our new web page is up! I'd love to hear any suggestions, corrections or additions this site is also
mirrored on ROOTSWEB@ We are combining our efforts and pooling our resources in the Stanbridge
area. We hope that this site will not only help us further our research on our Stanbridge families but it
will also be a great tool to help newcomers. …. You will also see that we have posted the scanned
images of the name pages from 1st part of the 1851 census ( roll 1127) for Stanbridge and we are now
beginning an index project. We would love to have you involved too. Do you have a local family ? Would
you like to be involved ? Do you have Stanbridge resources you'd be willing to share ? Would you be
willing to help with the 1851 indexing project ? Thanks so much, Nancy Cunningham
