COMMUNICATIONS CENTER

1. For those who may not be familiar with it, GenConnect, sponsored by RootsWeb, offers numerous query boards: Country, State, County, Surname, and several "special" boards. A good starting place for doing research on GenConnect is:

World Visitor Center, where you may select the country of your choice. Or, if you choose, you may search the entire world.
Before posting to any of the boards on GenConnect one should visit the Visitor's Center, where you will find hints and tips on using the GenConnect system. A visit to this page is recommended as there are numerous options available on this system.

You will receive a verification message, and just follow the instructions to verify the request. Then read the welcome message and follow its instructions too.

Turn OFF your signature file when sending this command
1. NCCARTER-L-request@rootsweb.com for individual messages.
As each subscriber sends messages to the list, you will receive a copy of the message.

2. NCCARTER-D-request@rootsweb.com for a digest of multiple messages.
As each subscriber sends messages to the list, they are put into a digest to be delivered later. The digest is generated approximately once a day and delivered to digest subscribers. This option is handy for people who don't want multiple messages to accumulate in their mail box. However, it becomes more cumbersome to find particular messages since what you receive is one large message each day.
You will receive a verification message, and just follow the instructions to verify the request. Then read the welcome message and follow its instructions too.

After you are subscribed and active, you can post messages to the list by addressing them to:

NCCARTER-L@rootsweb.com
