'Lo all:
I hope everyone is having a lovely spring so far (ours doesn't know what to
do - one day 20 degrees, the next rain and cold!).
We have an important holiday coming up this weekend, namely Mothers Day (May
11) - not to mention weekends themselves are always nice ;-)
In celebration of our family matriarchs (those known and, as of yet,
unknown), and to welcome all the new subscribers that have joined us during
the past year, I think a roll call is in order.
Now, for those of you who don't know what a roll call is, it is simply this:
subscribers to the list post the surnames they are researching (basically
what you do anyway), but in an abbreviated format.
This is the one time that, generally, you're allowed to get away with lists
of surnames (sans details). Some list admins are pretty strict about roll
calls, with formats on what you should do, and how you should post, etc. I'm
pretty much lax (or lazy, depending on your point of view ;-) on how you
wish to work your roll call entry.
However, I do have one little "rule". Please change the subject line; do not
reply and the leave the subject "re: may roll call". Please! It's not too
much to ask - just one little specification. ;-)
For those of you who hate roll calls (lots of people don't, so you're not
alone), you've been forwarned! Now I'll quit rambling on and let you all get
to it!
Ádh mór! (Cheers! - I'm trying the learn the language of my ancestors - the
Irish ones, anyway...)
