My wish is that everyone on our Cagle List, have a very Merry Christmas.
This has been another very good year for our list.
This list was started by myself in November 1998, and there are some of you
who have been with me from the beginning. Thanks to everyone for making
this list one of the best Rootsweb sponsors. Of course the list wouldn't be
possible with out the great folks at Rootsweb. They went for many years on
their own and relied on donations from list administrators, and other nice
folks.
They now are sponsored by Ancestry, and I encourage all of you to use their
many genealogical resources. This is a pay for use company but it in turn
keeps all of Rootsweb's great resources alive.
To all the many experienced genealogical researchers I thank you for
helping all the new folks. Your years on our list and overall experience
make it much easier for others. To all the new members who joined this year
if you haven't posted your Cagle line yet, please do so for all of us to
share.
Now for some interesting Cagle list data, these are figures of the number
of postings each year :
1998 ~ 230
1999 ~ 1767
2000 ~ 745
2001 ~ 1036
2002 ~ 898
2003 ~ 755 *As of this date

By far 1999 was our best year for number of messages posted. Of course 2003
is not quite over yet:)
Again thanks to all of you Cagle researchers, and "Merry Christmas"
