Subject: LIST ADMIN
This is being cross-posted, so apologies if you receive several copies of
this!
We have just started to send out a regular, monthly Admin posting as
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.
**** It is useful to indicate the State, County, Country of your research
Eg: Alberta Canada, Wagga Wagga NSW Australia, Exeter Devon.
If possible can the two letter abbreviations used in the USA be replaced
with the full names.
**** 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.
****All messages posted to mailing lists are the property of their writers.
Please obtain permission from all parties before forwarding or publishing
any message from this list.
**** "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.
**** Please remember the correct procedure for unsubscribing and
subscribing.
Send a blank email with the word subscribe or unsubscribe in the body of the
message.
The address to send to is the address with the word request in it.
EG treetops-news-L-request(a)rootsweb.com etc
Please post from the address that you are subscribed under, otherwise the
Rootsweb
robot thinks it is spam & the posting bounces to us for forwarding.
***If you respond to an forwarded email please, please make sure that
you reply to the correct address, and do not click reply to sender,
otherwise Carol or I are swamped with the replies!
**** 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, remember the correct List etiquette is to ask permission
of the List Owner before posting messages regarding a new Mailing
List you have set up or mentioning any commercial organization.
Please send details to the admin address or either of us directly.
