Valdres Mailing List

James Wick from Washington has graciously set up a "List Server" for the Valdres Samband. This mailing list is set up especially for the people of Valdres heritage.

How does this "Mailing list" work?

Jim tells us "...it would allow any member (of the list) to send email to the list and then that email would be bounced out to all subscribers...allowing everyone to see what was being discussed and also allowing members to take a particular thread off line among themselves if they so desired."

How do you subscribe?

Click on one of the following "mailto" links. "subscribe" (without the quotes) should automatically appear as both the subject and text of your message. No additional text should be entered. Just click on Send.

You can also create the e-mail manually. Type in the address for the mode you want (list/digest). Type in "subscribe" as the subject (without the quotes). Type "subscribe" (without the quotes) in the text of your message. Click on send.

List Mode - (receive each posting as an individual email) VALDRES-L-request@rootsweb.com. Do the same as above.

Digest Mode - (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message) VALDRES-D-request@rootsweb.com

What can you expect?

Once you have subscribed, you will receive an email message with more information on how to post a message to the list. People, like yourself, will post messages to the list and every member of the list will see them. For those researching their Valdres heritage, this will be a valuable resource - to obtain and share information.

Remember what Veblen wrote:

"...we must nurse knowledge and relationships among Valdrises of the younger generation... I will not go into detail on how this will be done. This must be worked out by those who assume the work; but there must be publishing, and most in English. It will require much work, but it will bring those who do it many pleasant contacts."

Note: Veblen used the spelling "Valdris" in his writings.
