The LAFONTAINE-L Mailing List

I have created a Mailing List for all Internet users interested in the Lafontaine Surname and in particular in the Descendants of Jean Lariou dit Lafontaine, born in St-Pierre ou Mas-d'Agenais, Marmande, France and the ancestor of many of the Dumont in America. The list resides on  RootsWeb. I am the List Administrator and a  RootsWeb Sponsor. 

If you are unfamiliar with the concept of a mailing list, the idea is that once you subscribe, all messages sent to lafontaine-l@rootsweb.com will be automatically sent to all people who have subscribed (including you).

If you are ready to subscribe and to send a test message, use one of the links at the bottom of this page

 List Etiquette:

  • Messages may be posted in French or in English. English is understood by 95% of the subscribers and is the preferred language. A translation would be a nice touch.
  • Messages should be of a general nature like research questions and answers or an announcement of a new site that you have found interesting.
  • Messages directed to a single individual (like me) should not be sent to the list
  • It is perfectly acceptable to subscribe to the list even if you never expect to send a message. The hope is that one day you may have the answer to someone's question and your answer will be invaluable.
  • Messages larger than 20 KB will be refused. Do not use this list to circulate GEDCOM files or large pictures.
