Re: How to contact Group Owner?
I am in Florida.

When the group was under Yahoo and missed the deadline for the free changeover to groups.io, I offered to step into a co-owner/admin position and pay for the changeover entirely without asking for any re-imbursement, however my offer was rejected by default with no response. That is water under the bridge.

You're going to have to separate out the components of the email address, as this group has setting set to prevent members from seeing the full email address. Or not, as it is intended to protect people's IRL identity.? Just because I'm willing to share
mine doesn't mean Martin feels the same way.?
I'm going to call the number B. Henry found, and see if they'll talk to me, and/or pass a message to Martin. I will report back once I have something to report.?

Re: How to contact Group Owner?
My research results based on Tamar¡¯s information: ? Martin D(upre?) Pickney resides at 1120 Lake Shore Place, Naples Florida 34103. He is 73 years old and apparently still alive. He also has used the last name ¡°Pinckney¡±.? No phone number available; White Pages will provide multiple possible numbers, including cell numbers, for a fee. An Engineering License in the name of Martin Pinckney associated with American Engineering Consultants (AEC), 573 Bald Eagle Drive, Marco Island, Florida 34145, expired 28 Feb 2021. Phone number for AEC is 239-394-1697. They may be willing to help locate Martin. ? B. Henry ?

Randy,
Is there any way to have the group transferred to me as the
owner.
There is no established procedure for making a new owner of a group. It is incumbent on the group's creator to promote additional owners, or risk that the group will become orphaned in the event of their own incapacity.If there was only one owner, and that person cannot be reached, then your options are very limited. If there is a possibility of another owner existing, or a moderator with more permissions than you have, you might try sending an email to the group's +owner address a time or two to see if you get any response.Failing that, you can contact [email protected] and provide all the details in support of your request.Shal
This is the sort of contact we need. If the worst comes to the worst would it be possible to transfer everything over to a new group, as was done to set this one up? Then we could make sure there are plenty of owners, or whatever is needed, to ensure continuity in future. The problem than would be shutting down the old group (this one) so that we didn't finish up with two running side by side.

Re: How to contact Group Owner?
Yahoo now, AFAIK, is just a website reposting news from other sources. It's sometimes useful if a site is paywalled. Groups was utterly trashed.
We have now taken down all user content from the Yahoo Groups website. However, we will continue to accept users¡¯ requests for their data until January 31, 2020, and will ensure these have been fulfilled prior to deleting the data.
Apparently the mail system still works but I never used it. The third may have given a clue: he is trying to use this group via the old Yahoo group. I don't know if that group even exists any more or how much access it gives to Groups IO. Groups.io Links:
