Hello All! As a way of introduction, I would like to introduce myself as your new ATWELL-L list administrator, and to thank Larry for allowing me to help preserve this list. There are very few of us researching the ATWELL name, and this list is important for all of us in sharing our research results! I am originally from Kentucky, and presently live in Florida. My ATWELL connection is through a maternal line of one of my BASTIN ancestors. As for running a surname list, I started the BASTIN surname list almost exactly one year ago on the Maiser server at Indiana University, and I am still the list administrator for BASTIN-L, which is presently being run through RootsWeb, of which I am also sponsor. I also started the BASTIN Family Website, which includes my ATWELL connections, back in August. If anyone wants to visit this website, it is located at: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Prairie/9714/ If I can be of service at any time, please e-mail! I will be re-posting my ATWELL queries shortly, since it has been a while since I first posted them, and there is a good chance that there may have been new subscribers to ATWELL-L since I first posted them. Likewise, I would like to encourage all subscribers to re-post their ATWELL queries if it has been more than a few months since you last posted them. There may be a long-lost cousin lurking who may hold the key to making some ancestral connections! Thanks, Larry, for allowing me to become the ATWELL-L list administrator. Best Regards, -- Gary Bastin Palm Bay, Florida
