List Members:
Although this might sound like an odd posting to make- in view of recent
queries I have received, apparently it needs to be made.
To all new list members-
On any given mailing list there are anywhere from 8-500 members, sometimes
more.
This particular list for Owen County Indiana has 268 members who are either
reading postings or making them.
Once you subscribe to a mailing list you will receive in your e-mail box any
and all postings made by any of the other members of the list.
Likewise, your own postings will go out to all members of the mailing list.
As this is the summer season, the list is not quite as active as it would be
at other times of the year. However, overall you will most likely receive
emails that don't necessarily apply to your specific research needs and as
one researcher said to me "I don't even know these people".
This is not only a part of belonging to a mailing list; this is the main
purpose of these mailing lists to give you the best possible exposure to
other researchers in the same region or researching in the same area.
This is also why it is imperative to place a surname/time frame in your
subject line in order to better sort your email.
I am sorry if anyone was misled as to the purpose of these mailing lists.

all generations of your ancestors. All
of them are alive in this moment. Each is present in your body. You are the
continuation.
