Caroline, ?? You forgot to mention one more reason they should check the Archives.? Many of the people who were frequent posters in the past had been researching for years and had lots of information to share. They are no longer with us. So, if you want access to their information, you'll have to go to the Archives. Just be aware that no one is always correct and you will find mistakes. It is the job of the researcher to document the information. -----Original Message----- From: Caroline <carolineh@knology.net> To: albibb@rootsweb.com Sent: Sat, Jul 18, 2009 10:04 am Subject: [ALBIBB] BOOKS and list membership Jacque, I checked and we have 186 list members. I wanted to check the number of "ancients" - great description - but would have to go by each letter of the alphabet - not today. For those who may be curious about our list heritage go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ALBIBB/ and browse the posts for the early years, beginning in Sept 1997. We're still "listing" almost 12 years later; some of us listing in more ways than one. I always advise returning to these old postings as something that was posted years ago may be just the information we're looking for. Thanks for writing, Jacque.
