Comparison of Sinclair Mailing Lists

There are at least four mailing lists related to the Sinclair, St. Clair, and Sinkler families. The first two listed here are widely used.

Sinclair Discussion List

This is the oldest and largest list, with about 220 subscribers to the main list and its associated digest, as of November 1999. Officers of all the main Clan Sinclair organizations are on this list. The list is quite eclectic, with discussions ranging from genealogy to history to places to Templars. John S. Quarterman started this list at the request of Sinclairs who wanted a discussion list. The list includes Sinclairs, St. Clairs, Sinklers, and other variations on the name.

Sinclair Genealogy List

This list is intended strictly for genealogy. It has about 40 subscribers. Gary M. Sinclair started this list at the request of people who wanted a genealogy-only Sinclair list. The list includes Sinclairs, St. Clairs, Sinklers, and other variations on the name.

Rootsweb Sinclair-L and Stclair-L Lists

There are probably only 10 people on the RW list compared with the greater than 200 at the other lists. Obviously, more can be accomplished with the greater amount of researchers working together. Further, when RW setup those thousands of surname mail lists, they setup a St. Clair mail list separately. The other two lists mentioned above encompass all variations of the name.

Amber (St. Clair) Dalakas remarks that: ``The only reason I signed on as "owner, administrator" for the two [rootsweb] lists Sinclair & St. Clair was that so new people who found these lists would not miss out on the older established lists as far as the bulk of the family researchers being over there.''
