interest! We can help!
**********************
I can't thank Bobbe enough for taking on this list task. She is excellent at
this sort of thing being a computer guru and good with people. She will keep
everyone on topic.
Bobbe mentioned to me last night that EVERY message posted on this list is
archived and can be read by the entire world at Rootsweb if anyone feels
inclined to download the file.
A helpful hint: If you have the availability of another e-mail address or
screen name (AOL gives you 5 to add delete at whim), organizing "list mail"
under a separate e-mail address is often a good thing.
Inasmuch as our surname has now been officially posted on the Rootsweb list
and I am thinking of announcing it on our web site in a day or so, there is
the question of "organized response" to people asking questions.
I have been thinking that people who join the list with questions will either
get response hits from all of us or none of us (since we would rather be
reading films than answering e-mail). I assume people on their own direct and
immediate families will respond to each other, and I'm going to let them
unless I see some problems. At that point perhaps we can post the data AND the
source.
I say we keep the same response protocol Anne and I have been using for a long
while now, we divide up the families in the United States only a way we
understand, but it's basically:
--Bobbe responds to Chamblees in Mississippi
--Carla does all Boltons and she is into early early Strickland stuff in
England
--Rocky kindly took over my Strickland Edgecombe/Nash/Frankly/Johnston/Wake
query page and is doing a MUCH better job (go look at it). Steer all
Strickland people from these counties to him for query posting
--Anne responds to all CHAMLEE people
--Anne takes all CHAMBLEES who were in SC (if there are any, ha) and the ones
in Georgia. She always cc's her replies, so if I can see any GA people in
Dawson Co, etc where Riley Bolton took his wife, then I grab them. (Anne and I
have a good system).
--Anne also takes Tennessee because of Jacob, but we both help with the McMinn
Co problem (I know you must be confused by all this)
--Anne also respons to the ones who traveled due west from GA to TX, and again
we intuitively just juggle when somebody peaks our interest
--Anne did Chamblee, GA inquiries, I bet the Chamblee, GA page helped that
claim to town-name fame
--D'Ann takes ALL spellings in VA, NC and all early early Chambless, Chamness,
--everywhere
--D'Ann also responds to AL until Jack gets here, then he inherits his
birthright
--D'Ann always does Jefferson Co AL because she is working with the Horton B.
Chamblee crowd and is fascinated with this lost person
--D'Ann responds to Chomondeley, Ft. Chambly in Canada and Chambly, France (I
need to post the research I did on these places so people won't keep quoting
them in their family histories)
--D'Ann takes all SHAMLEY people from the midwest, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio,
etc (they come from Robert/James/Richard line and I have researched a big
file's worth
Btw, been renewing e-mail with someone who came from the George Chamblee/Sarah
Horton marriage of 1786, Wake. (Sarah was a Horton, first marr a "Jethro
Horton" supposedly in Wake Co). We do NOT know the father of this Geroge,
though I figure the first George Chamblee who married Sarah Bell and left for
SC when he went bankrupt and got in those big court fights with Anne Reynolds
and family. Was told this George/Sarah went to SC then AL. Gonna look there
myself.
