We have never sent this before, however, there seems to be a sudden splurge
of subscribers to ALL the lists that are run between us (Carol & Julie)
,with many new to the internet, so, here are some basic suggestions for
the newer members & reminders for the regulars
**** Remember we're all living is different parts of the world and what is
obvious to you not obvious to other list members. Please be patient and
polite to fellow list members. Treat others as you wish to be treated.
**** The more information you include in your question the more likely you
are to get an answer and
The more specific your question, the most likely you are to get answer.
**** "I've looked everywhere", it does helps to mention where
"everywhere"
is so others can point you to new places to look rather than telling you to
do what you've already done.
***** Consider using the Free Family Tree and We'll Meet Again Service,
provided FREE by Carol of Tree Tops
http://freespace.virgin.net/tree.tops
By submitting a message to the various services Carol provides, you might
find that missing link. Check out the web page for further details.
Remember, when you have an elusive ancestor, anything is worth a try.
**** I'd like to encourage people to send replies to the LIST rather than
direct to the person The advantages of sending replies to the list:
there's probably others that are interested in the answer, it might get a
discussion and it lets others know if the question has been answered.
**** Use suitable subject headings, especially if you receive the digest
version of postings.
Not everyone reads everything and often time dictates we skim read the
subjects lines looking for something
interesting or relevant. An email that says "My family research" doesn't
tell us much. Another tip is to type SURNAMES in capitals, so they attract
attention
****Remember ALL posts to Rootsweb mailing lists are archived, so it is
always checking there. Following the links from the main Rootsweb URL, at
www.rootsweb.com or from
http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and
then inserting the name of the list whose archives you wish to search.
**** FINALLY, If you wish to post something to the list that is NOT specific
to the list, For example new mailing lists, please send details to the admin
address or either of us directly.
