Hello Brumfield/Broomfield/Bromfield Cousins:

This is going to be a long message, but there is no way around it this
time.

We now have 85 subscribers to the Brumfield mailing list.

As you probably know our Brumfield mailing list and Brumfield GenConnect
boards are housed by Rootsweb.

Rootsweb and the GenConnect staff have recently created a "Resource
Page" for our Brumfield surname. You'll find it located at
http://resources.rootsweb.com/surnames/b/r/BRUMFIELD/

This page is a great navigational tool. It has unified the "Brumfield"
resources together.

The Brumfield "Resource Page" or sometimes called a "Cluster Page"
includes our Brumfield mailing list (and it's archives), our GenConnect
Suite (this includes all 7 boards), any homepages (if anyone has a web
page for Brumfield, it can be linked to our cluster page.), lots of
search engines. There is also a place for "Wanted Items and items to be
sold (that pertain to Brumfield), a calendar and guestbook.

The purpose of the "Resource Page" is to organize the vast amount of
materials on Rootsweb and to make it accessible to the user.

Along with our Brumfield Cluster Page, Rootsweb has created 5,000 new
"Surname Resource Pages" and 3,000 new mailing lists, the GenConnect
staff has also created new boards (a suite of 7 each) to match these
mailing lists.

In doing so, they have divided our Brumfield/Broomfield/Bromfield
surnames. There is now a new mailing list and suite of GenConnect
Boards with their Resource Page for Broomfield and also one for
Bromfield.

So if any of your Brumfields spelled their name as Broomfield or
Bromfield you can subscribe to the new mailing list. For Broomfield
send an email to with the word
subscribe in the body - nothing else and please turn off any signature
line. To subscribe to the Bromfield mailing list send an email to
with the word subscribe in the body -
nothing else and please turn off any signature line.

I am also the list manager for these two lists and GenConnect Board
suites.

I have already removed the Broomfield/Bromfield from the Brumfield
GenConnect Suite. So if you have placed a query or information on the
Brumfield/Broomfield/Bromfield GenConnect boards that really (now)
belong on one of the other board sets I'll be moving those shortly, so
there is no need for concern.

One more thing on these GenConnect Boards i.e.. queries, wills,
pensions, obits, bios, deeds and bible records - please remember these
boards are a web based query and data system, where the information you
provide is automatically and instantly displayed and fully indexed and
searchable. This means users can input a query or piece of information
on a board and see it displayed, but so can anyone else searching the
system for our surname, which will greatly increase our chances of
making connections. These boards will even send you an e-mail to let
you know that someone has either answered your query or added additional
data. This is a very effective tool, so please go by and place a query
or information on our Brumfield - Broomfield - Bromfield ancestors.

On our Brumfield GenConnect boards I have a added a link to the
Broomfield and Bromfield Resource Pages to help add more traffic.

If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
