Hi Paulette, During December most Lists get much quieter than usual. So, it is a time when List Administrators allow other topics to be discussed. Me included. It is well-needed to have genealogy queries on the Lists, especially during the quiet times (July and December). But, when someone wants to post a query, please make it a separate posting - with the surname in the Subject line - in caps. You will get more responses that way: [email protected] Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator REMINDER: Remember to check the archives of all the Lists and Boards for your surnames and place-names. And, please remember to check the on-line auctions for for your surnames and place-names.

Thank you Betty....
