Hello New Friends and "Cohearts",
I am the list administrator for the new Cattron mailing list. My name is
Terry Black Temples and I am a descendant of Jacob Cattron who was born in
1792 in Wythe County, VA. I know very little about Jacob's descendants and
nothing about his forebears. There are ten of us subscribed to the list as
of today and I am hoping that we'll be able to help each other find our
links back to the original Kettering/Kettenring family of Germany. Please
invite any fellow Cattron/Kettering/Kettenring/(and any other spelling)
researchers to our list.
I have just a few rules - more can be added later if needed:
1. Be kind! None of us need to have something said that will only add to
our daily
stress level. We are all old enough to realize that getting along
sometimes takes
kindness, patience, and just plain keeping our mouths shut. If you
have
something unkind to say to anyone, take it out on me instead. E-mail
and let
me know what is bothering you, do not bring it to the list. I'm a big
girl and
can handle whatever problem you may have.
2. If you are willing to do lookups in any resources you may own please
let us
know. You may want to decide that you will do lookups on a first
come,
first serve basis only on Saturdays or one day per month, etc. That
is
what I may decide to do with my Wayne County census cds since I
cannot possibly take hours everday doing lookups. I wish I could -
but
I have to work just as the majority of you do.
Well, two is a few, so I'm stopping there for now. Please feel free to
post the names you are researching. Please try to give dates and specific
places as much as possible although I know all three can be gray areas
sometimes.
I hope to hear from you all very soon!
Terry
