Subject: LIST GUIDELINES
Hello Everyone and Welcome to the lists. It is my hope that these
lists
will
become a valuable tool for researchers in locating our families.
Firstly I would like to explain that it is not me who will be doing look
ups, I and hoping and praying that we can help each other here. It is
important that we continue to spread the word by telling our cousins and
lists that we belong to about these XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP lists.The more people
we have here the better the chances are that we can help each other in our
research.Feel free to forward this letter.
I have made a list for ALL states, if you have an interest in other states
and would like to join you can replace the "XX" in the address below with
the abbreviation of the states your interested in.
XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-L-request(a)rootsweb.com
XX-CENSUS-LOOKUP-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
Guidelines for posting to the lists:
EMAIL SUBJECT LINES:
YEAR,COUNTY,NAME
NO FLAMING or you will be unsubbed without notice.
My Mama taught me that Thank you and Please are always nice too :)
NO General requests such as "all Smiths in all counties"
Be specific, Name the County, Family you are looking for and also the
year.
Try to supply as much info as possible.
That is all I can think of for now but would appreciate suggestions. I
will
probably be sending this letter out every few days to update new
people,
as
it stands now the response to these lists have been amazing .Please
keep
spreading the word ;)
Thanks and WELCOME to the lists !
Kelly
