Hello Listers, The silent majority roared. Thank you, one and all. We are back in business. We have blessings from all the BW list administrators (including the big Kahuna himself) to post the requests for lookups and the findings on the BW site again. I had given out my personal email to get the "clutter off site" and now we should change back. You all responded (roared) and the "off site" decision was reversed. Now, however, it's time to return to using the BW site ([email protected];) This way everyone can benefit from our messages. If you send your request to me, only you and I will gain from findings. If sent to the BW site, others will also be able to see the messages. Hopefully someone will find that elusive clue they have been searching for. In the two or three years I've been doing this, we have found dozens of ancestors. The big payoff; the Raab List can take credit for destroying two brick walls. As before, I ask for only one or two surnames per request. Best to add a given name because so many of these names are fairly common. Even some of the less common surnames can have 8 or 10 prisoners listed and if I send all those to the list, we may not be able to roar loud enough the next time. Again, thanks for all the nice comments and thanks to the list administrators for their flexibility. Marvin
