Now that the holidays are behind us once again let's introduce ourselves by telling about our families, names, dates, any information that will be helpful to someone else in recognizing the family and being able to help tear down brick walls. This will be especially helpful to our new cuzins on the list. 1. Remember to put your family member names in the subject line. Subject: Smith, Caffee, Vernon, Vance 2. Delete the previous subject names when posting your message unless it refers to the same names. By putting your surnames in the subject line they will show in the archives postings and help researchers find information later. Never use "roll call", "help", "looking for ancestors", etc. 3. Delete the "tags" - (To unsubscribe from the list please send an email to ALBIBB-request@rootswebat) at the bottom of each posting before sending your post. This will prevent those tags from repeatedly showing in the digest mode. 4. When replying to a post leave only the relevant info from the post to which you are replying. This really makes sense if you are subscribed in digest mode - reading the same posts over and over can be quite frustrating. 5. In the body of the message CAPITALIZE the SURNAMES that you are researching - this helps the names stand out from the content of the message. Have you checked the Bibb mail list archives at http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/ALBIBB/ ? You can browse the archives by last name by using "Search" at the top right of the archives page. Have you checked the Bibb web page at http://bibbcountyal.org/ ? Lots of great information and more added frequently. Please send our web master, Deb Haines, your own family info. Looking forward to hearing from all list members . . . Caroline Horton, List Administrator SMITH (Andrew), CAFFEE, VERNON, VANCE
