The following mailing lists may be of interest to people doing research in Butler Co., PA.
All mailing lists have two addresses, one address to handle commands (such as subscribe, unsubscribe, etc.) and a second address for sending mail to all the subscribers to the mailing list. The e-mail addresses listed below are the addresses that handle commands.

Many mailing lists are available in two formats, normal mode and digest mode. In normal mode, you receive each individual message as soon as it is received by the mailing list software. In digest mode, you usually receive one e-mail per day which contains all the messages for that day. The advantage of digest mode is that it is typically easier to keep track of which mail is personal and which mail is being sent to the lists. The disadvantage is the slight delay of up to a day before seeing the collected messages.
A mailing list for Butler Co., PA genealogy is currently maintained by Tom Nagy.
To subscribe, send an e-mail with just the word subscribe in the body of the mail to [email protected] for normal mode or to [email protected] for digest mode. If and when you want to unsubscribe the procedure is exactly the same except the command sent is unsubscribe
