Time to list the surnames and the towns you are researching. I will send out an example of a roll call message using my surnames and towns.  Yours does not have to look exactly like this, but please make it easy to read.  The first 2 examples, by surname or by town are the easiest way. The subject line should indicate what is most important to you - in my case, my most important surnames and town. Look forward to hearing from everyone! ----------------------------------------------- Darlene Dimitrie DVHH-L Email List Administrator ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
