Hello members of the ZIELINSKI surname list. Let me introduce myself. My
name is Laurie Lovelace and I am the new administrator for this list. I
acquired the list through the adoption board at Rootsweb on Wednesday night
and have spent the day updating information on the subscription confirmation
messages and taglines. In order to help you use the mailing list to its full
potential I have some suggestions to offer, these being:
When posting to this list I would recommend that you place the surnames
you're researching in the subject line. This makes it so much easier for
those scanning the postings and the archives to see who it is you're looking
for. A great help also is to mention the timeframe and some of the sources
you have already checked. In the spirit of sharing on the list, I would urge
everyone to select "reply all" when responding to messages on the list so we
can all benefit from the research. This does not apply to personal messages
or data regarding living individuals.
The gateway between the message board and the mailing list for ZIELINSKI is
open. For old hands at the mailing lists the following is not necessary,
however for first time list members, what this means is, messages posted to
the message board at this URL
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=Surnames.ZIELI...
will automatically show up on the mailing list. You will be able to read the
posting without actually going to the message board. HOWEVER, YOU SHOULD NOT
RESPOND ON THE MAILING LIST, but click on the URL given in the message to be
taken to the message board. Your response needs to be posted there. The
reason for this, the postings to the mailing list DO NOT automatically go to
the message boards, therefore the person who the original query may never
see the response.
Some reminders to new members of the list:
Send your email to
ZIELINSKI-L(a)rootsweb.com
There are messages in the archives for this surname dating back to 2000,
this is an excellent resource so be sure to search the archives at

I consider myself fairly easy to get along with and will run the list in a
fairly relaxed manner. However, that being said, I would like to remind
everyone that certain behaviour will not be tolerated on this list, and to
behave in such a manner will result in the offender being
removed/unsubscribed from the list and put on reject status, meaning you
will NOT be permitted to post anything to the list.
These are hard and fast rules found in the Rootsweb AUP so I'm not making
any rules that other lists aren't required to follow.
Such things that will cause your removal are:
1. Your posts should not flame or otherwise harass other users and should be
reasonably on topic for the areas where they appear, and you should
otherwise adhere to the principles of netiquette. Information about
netiquette is available on many Internet sites.
2. RootsWeb's intent is to provide a friendly and, as much as possible,
non-commercial environment. Any activity that involves the exchange of money
requires prior permission from
RootsWeb.com. Posting of messages of a
commercial nature may result in your removal from this list.
3. You will receive ONE warning to cease and desist, any argument will
result in removal or moderation. Moderation simply means that all your posts
will come through me for approval BEFORE going to the list.
I look forward to meeting all of you over the next little while. If your
require assistance of an administrative nature please let me know. Other
than that I hope we can all share and learn from each other.
Laurie
