>From The Desk of Awiusdi : I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful safe Happy New Year. I am fairly happy at how the lists have gone this year. I would have like to have been able to do more research and provide that but I have not been able to. I am hoping for a very productive New Year. Thank you for working on your lines and for sharing those with the lists. I appreciate that and I know you do too. The current projects for the lists are: Listmember reports, Gedcom files being updated,Yahoo Genealogy club for our groups, New research links. If you have an idea for our lists, let me know. Send your requests to me not the list. Contrary to popular belief I am open to new ideas and new ways to help with our family lines. I think we have a great list, so far not much conflict and I like that, Lets keep it that way. I think for over 400 people we have done a marvelous job at accomplishing this. I would like to see more input and more sharing but I realize that for many of us the lines have gone as far as they can but there are new people all the time. My suggestion is make up a draft email with your info in it and post it at least once a month. Be willing to help others. Enough for now. My best thoughts and prayers for each and every one of you. If I can be of any help let me know. I am here for all of you. Thank you for your support and your help. Your listowner, Awiusdi
