Jannie - At your earliest convenience, could you advise the membership on the status of IKK?
Thank you - Jim

Same here seems like there are not many free sites left for us to gather information like this great site.
I know of one for Ohio that has Vermilion County there for IL which I have submitted on bios and cemeteries especially since the one In IL now is a cost and has disappeared.
A cousin that I just found is now just starting his research (Allen) and I have told him I will send him anything I have.

My other groups that have moved have used Yuku and Multiply.  We are running out of time and I sure don't want to lose touch with you folks!!

That's great, I am going to go thru some of my old emails and add IKK addresses just in case we run out of time before the new group forms. I wonder what kind of warning MSN is going to give other than the rather ambiguous "sometime in February"?

From my own MSN Group that was going to be transfered to Multiply, I think I understood that Multiply is only going to be free for a trial period.  Sadly, I opted not to do anything.  Not because of the money, but because I just couldn't do it.  With Janie working, possibly she can't do it either.
 
Can we get some kind of committments other than wants and needs to help Janie with her decision?
 
I can send a few dollars for another IKK Group, if there are fees.  I will also continue to do lookups. I cannot supervise as well.
 
Sometimes when we get a long string going, it attracts Janie's attention when she's on her busy schedule.

MSN is coming up with Windows Live Groups
 
 
Microsoft has been planning to remove MSN Groups and re brand them with Windows Live since the introduction of Windows Live. Now it seems Windows Live Groups will launch on th, replacing MSN Groups, set to close on February 21, 2009.

Melody and all,  I have been exploring groups on my own.  I belong to many groups because I raise Boer goats and in that way I keep up with health, breeding and selling concerns of goat farming.
 
I would be happy to set up a group for us.  I find that Yahoo would probably be the best as you don't have a limit on how many in your group.  MSN live limits you to only 20 members per group and that would not allow us to grow.
 
Let me know if I can be of help.  I can have it done today.

I thought the 20 member limit was for group chats.  We have never had more than a handful of chatters at a time at IKK.

Found this through a  search
 

I'd like to address ace_of_spades' worries (Message 2) about the limitation of 20 members per Windows Live Group.  That's not correct.  There's a 20-member limitation on "live" - that is Messenger-enabled - group discussions, but not on the membership total of the Group.  I do agree, however, that Windows Live Groups seems to be an exercise in pointlessness.

Cheers

Good morning friends,
 
"Kasey" and I have been trying out different group sites.   After spending a number of hours on two sites, (MSN LIVE and PBWIKI) we have agreed that they will not work.  An invitation to "Prudy" was answered with the emoticon of the little guy pulling his hair out and screaming (not one but a whole line), so three "nos" out of three, and the site gets dumped.
 
Kasey is now looking into Yahoo Groups for our needs.  If she likes it she will set it up then I will go in later and try to fill in County information.  That way we can see how the postings are arranged and if we can make sense of them.

I belong to quite a few Yahoo groups and the seem fine. Every so often they get a little 'goofy', but I think all sites do that from time to time.
 
A couple of the MSN groups I belong to have moved to YUKU, but you have to sign up, which I have done....BUT now I don't really know how to find my groups and am not sure if you can get the messages sent to your inbox. I am by no means a computer genius, but I can usually do what I need to so if it is confusing to me, I am sure that for some novice computer users, it would be very confusing. Also, they ask for information when you sign up (they say they don't share it) and that has made some people in my groups uncomfortable.
 
One tip: If a group wants you to supply info that you don't want to share, make up something! One site requires a last name, but they have no way of knowing if that is really your last name! What are they going to do, anyway?
 
Thanks for your work, Melody! If there is something I can do to help, please let me know. My free time seems to vary from week to week, but I'm sure I could work it in somehow and I don't want us to lose this group!
