I just hit reply and the address line showed only your email address. So, when I hit "reply to all" I got both your address and the list address. While I'm at it...my McClelland family is from Congo, County Tyrone. Does anyone know how far away Congo, County Fermanagh is? I was surprised to find that there are 2 Congos in Northern Ireland. Another question...my Alexander McClelland came to the US (Manhattan) in 1847 at the age of 16 or 17. He traveled alone. I have been unable to find him on any ship's list. I've used the various spellings including Clelland on the various programs (ie. ancestry.com). No luck. Any suggestions? Thanks for any help!

Sorry if it seems that I am hogging the list at the moment. The reason for this note, is that on each occasion in the past day or two when I have intended to REPLY to the LIST, about a posting, regardless of whether I tried "Reply" or "Reply to All" -- my reply was only addressed to the original poster and not to the list. I have noticed that this Tyrone list has become fairly moribund of late, and now I wonder if this lack of a direct Reply to the list itself might be part of the reason for that; as I expect (and hope. ha ha) that I am not the only dumb one around here; and that others might have thought that they were replying to the list, only to never see their reply posted on it. It seems to me that we used to have a lot of friendly interactions and helpfulness on the list, much of which seems to have evaporated in recent times. I had put that down to just being the nature of some lists, but now I wonder if this Reply issue might be more relevant to it. All of this is in complete contrast to the Fermanagh-Gold list, which I know from postings that some of you are also subscribed to, which is one of the most dynamic lists which I belong to; with that dynamism seeming to me to be attributable to a few people. First, they have a list administrator who interprets his brief VERY WIDELY, so that almost any topic is deemed relevant to the list -- with all other counties within Ireland not being a limiting factor. (And Claire this comment is NOT intended as any sort of slight to you, as I have no complaint at all -- rather I am just trying to be comprehensive in what I am writing. Secondly, because we have at least one very generous LOCAL who shares all of her knowledge with us; plus other local experts who chime in from time to time. And thirdly, with some very "noisy" foreigners who keep the questions and helpful thoughts pouring in. The result is a list which sometimes overwhelms with the number of its messages -- especially if! one does not read them every day; but which also operates as a world-wide family, seeming to enfold each other in caring arms. I'd be interested in the thoughts of others on some of these things; but Claire if you do not want this sort of discussion to occur on-list, please let us know. Regards to all.
