George D Craig Beaver County , PA _____ Dear George & Baden-Wuerttemberg List Friends, Just as a friendly clarification for all, keep in mind that getting a prompt (and sometimes any) response to a query on a genealogy mailing list such as this one will usually depend entirely on whether someone subscribed to that list recognizes the family or individual in question, and indeed has information to share. Such a person may simply happen to be researching the same names or lines, or be familiar with a particular location mentioned in a post. J Sometimes, people are not aware that the BW mailing list is *NOT* a genealogical library, research service, file collection, official archive or Web site. The information shared here comes strictly from individual members of the public who subscribe to the list. All information exchanged is in response to questions and genealogical queries posted by subscribers to this list via e-mail. *This is how a genealogy mailing list works.* The number and promptness of replies to queries may also depend on the number of a list's subscribers. The Baden-Wuerttemberg List averages about 1100 people; other lists may have many more subscribers, depending on the area of coverage of the list. While not all subscribers choose to post or respond to queries on the list on a regular basis, a few BW list members who are very knowledgeable about German genealogy and particularly Baden-Wuerttemberg genealogy post quite regularly. Everyone should also be aware that his or her posts to the Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List are accessible in the list archives long after one round of e-mail circulation. Sometimes, you may receive a response to a query or other post months or years after it originally appeared, because a member of the public has seen the post in the list archives and recognized a possible link or a shared research interest. While waiting to see a possible response to a query you may have shared with us, you might find it of interest to visit the list archives to see if someone has *previously* posted a message that would be of help to you. The Baden-Wuerttemberg Mailing List archives are accessible at: <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?path=BADEN-WURTTEMBERG > http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/search?path=BADEN-WURTTEMBERG (search mode) OR <http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/BADEN-WURTTEMBERG/> http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/BADEN-WURTTEMBERG/ (browse messages by month/year) The BW List archives currently hold posts (numbering in hundreds per month) from the present and dating back monthly to at least 1997, and a smaller number of posts going back even further than that. Hope this offers some encouragement to those who may not see a response to a query right away!
