Dear List Members,
If you are interested in knowing about other mailing list out there, one
of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John
Fullers Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html
If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any rootsweb list all
you need to do is visit Password Central located at
http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the
instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to
and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know
that I will be more than
happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only
need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net
not to the entire list.
If you would like to visit the archived messages of this list or any
other Rootsweb mailing list, go to
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and
type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you
can search by dates.
There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of
us.
1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put
the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might
give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the
information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is
searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many
many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors"
they just delete it.
2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if
you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily
pick out the surnames you are looking for.
3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you
re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check
this, your responses can
become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's
servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message
because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all
the answers you are looking for.
5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any
attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are
taking a chance.
6. Now, the hardest thing is, when one of our own, a fellow member
becomes upset about a posting from one of us. It is so hard not to
jump in and add our two cents when they send their unhappiness to the
entire list. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just
let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the
scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I
might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to
contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett(a)era.com or in the evenings
at KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net.
Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the
posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political
announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages,
flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for
removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact
me at KathleenBurnett(a)earthlink.net
I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your
willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list
and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you
would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.
