Email List
The Brooks/New England Mailing List
BROOKS-NE-L is an internet mailing list connecting researchers and descendants of the Brooks
families of New England, hosted by RootsWeb, the internet's free genealogy cooperative. More than 160
subscribers use the list as a forum in which to share research, tips, questions and leads concerning
descendants of 15 Brooks emigrant progenitors known to have been in New England by 1700.
Unlike a BOARD, which you must continually revisit to monitor replies and new messages, a LIST immediately forwards to each subscriber any new message posted by any other subscriber - in the form of either individual postings ("list" or "L" mode) or a single daily digest ("D" mode). You must be subscribed in order to query or post, but you may subscribe, unsubscribe, and/or resubscribe at any time, as often as you like. It's free, easy, and productive; the only obligation is civility to fellow subscribers.
Non-subscribers are welcome to look through the message archive, which can be searched by either date/subject line or keyword. You'll be surprised at how focused and productive a surname mailing list can be.

If you have more than one email address, be sure to send your request from the address to which you want your list mail delivered. If you use a signature line to your email, it's best to turn it off for this message, as it could confuse the server which will autoprocess your request.
You'll initially be subscribed in List ("L") mode. Instructions on how to manage your subscription by email are included in the Welcome message which new subscribers automatically receive. Please read and save that message. For a copy of the Welcome message, click here.
If you're researching a New England Brooks family, I hope you'll join our "research team."
