I just want to remind everyone in the next few weeks we will have a lot of new people get computers for the holidays. And with that we will get a lot of people new to computers, internet and genealogy. Please be kind and thoughtful of these new people...we were all new once ourselves. We do not want to intimidate them to where they are afraid of posting any information...after all they may have the answers we are looking for in our own research. As listowner, I do try to watch over and help guide them politely how to post queries on the mailing lists. But as most of you know my time is very limited with taking care of my step mom so it may take a few emails from a new person for me to catch it. With respect to the new ones please do not flame them on the list but contact me and I will help them. I wish you all successes in your research in the new year to come. And if you must travel during the holidays...I hope it is a safe trip for you. Thank you & good luck in your search!
