Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state.
Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb
Hello everyone,
We currently have 58 subscribers to CATLETT-L and 19 subscribers to
CATLETT-D.
Many of you have never posted a message to the list and those who have posted
in the past, have been strangely quiet. Why? Are y'all just shy? (We don't
bite). Intimidated? (Don't be). Busy? (We all are). Know everything there
is to know about the CATLETTs? (Share your knowledge with the list). Don't
know anything about your CATLETT? (There's a collective wealth of knowledge
on this list. TAP it!).
Let's play -- What's YOUR line? Here are the guidelines:
Subject Line: Change it. Use your "end of line" CATLETT ancestor (or a
CATLETT puzzler, who's not necessarily an ancestor), last known residence,
and date.
Body of the message: It's ok to repeat the subject. Here are some
things you might consider putting in your message.
What do you want to know about the ancestor. (Parents, siblings,
descendants, occupation, military service).
What do you already know.
What have you already learned in your search.
Where did you search.
How confident are you in what you do know.
Also mention a little about yourself and your own level experience. All
members were "newbies" once! <s> (Some were even doing genealogy "BC"
(before computers)). What resources do you have nearby? (This doesn't
mean you're volunteering to do look-ups for instance, but remember that
much of genealogy is sharing, not taking. We've all been helped in one
way or another by others, give a little back).
I'm asking for 100% participation. <G>
-- Karon
