Hi everyone, I have been noticing there is very little traffic on the CARLISLE mail list. Other lists I am on have generated a LOT of traffic with some projects. I would like to suggest such an activity for us. Maybe we can find some of our mutual elusive CARLISLEs. If you decide to act on this suggestion PLEASE put enough info in the subject line to help those with very limited computer time to sift thru the messages without having to scan every post and possibly missing a connection. Having to sift thru a lot of messages with the same subject line has caused some researchers to unsubscribe from lists, and we do not want to loose anyone. They might be the one with the info to break thru our brickwalls. Suggested project #1 State/name of your CARLISLE ie: subject line: Tx/William Hastings CARLISLE Jr. William "Billie" Hasting Jr. Carlisle b: August 02, 1847 in La (census) / Near 3 Creeks, Union Co Ar (death certificate & Confederate Pension) d: March 04, 1935 in Mullin, Mills Co. Tx married September 15, 1867 in Angelina Co. Tx, Lucinda Absher b: August 1853 in Tx d: February 08, 1939 in Mills Co. Tx daughter of: Jake Absher and ( __?__Chasen?) Suggested project #2 Earliest CARLISLE/name of your CARLISLE ie: subject line: Earliest CARLISLE/William Hastings CARLISLE Sr William Hastings Sr. Carlisle b: Abt. 1814 in Ms d: after 1850 (Angelina Co Tx?) .married November 04, 1839 in Ms Sarah Bishop b: Abt. 1817 IF I have "stepped on any toes", broken an UNKNOWN to me rule or offended anyone with my suggestions, I sincerely apologize, but I hope this will help generate traffic on the list and help make some connections. Any info about my husband's CARLISLEs listed above will be appreciated. Rena Anderson Pittman
