>**3/22/99** >HELLO ALL! > I am happy to be the first poster to this list, and happy that Wilkinson >Co. now has it's very own list! I personally have lots and lots of >Wilkinson Co. ancestors, which many of you may have already seen over the >months/years, as I've posted alot on GA lists, etc. > I am thrilled to be the List Manager, with the help of Virginia and Jeff, >and they have done a wonderful job on getting things going, and Jeff has >done an excellent job on the Wilkinson Co. website! Be sure to go look at >it if you haven't already done so. A big thank you to Virginia, and the >folks at rootsweb who helped me to get set up as the Wilkinson Co. list >manager. I simply offered to "help out", and here I am!!<Grin> > I will try to keep things going, but it will ultimately be up to the >members/ >subscribers to keep the list active, and if you keep posting, you will >eventually get what you want from this list. I honestly believe that. > I work at an FHC once a week, and will be happy to take occasional >QUERIES/REQUESTS with me to the FHC and do a few simple look-ups there (on >the Ancestral File, IGI, etc.). If you have access to an LDS FHC (Family >History Center), don't hesitate to use it (whether you are an LDS church >member or not), because it's there for your use, and it's free, and the >staff should be helpful! If you ever need help with WHAT TO DO NEXT on your >research, I'll be more than happy to give advice, suggestions, etc. > I will send another email here, maybe we should do a ROLL CALL to begin.... >telling a little about yourself, your family, your interests in Genealogy, >and WHAT LINES you are working on or have in WILKINSON CO.! > I'd like to see the list be a friendly and active place. It's meant for >YOUR USE, so post all you'd like! We should probably try at least to stay >on track as much as possible, with WILKINSON CO. ancestors and info; but >you won't be bounced off if you post something that might be a bit off >topic. (Please keep in mind though that many subscribers are receiving >LOTS OF EMAILS daily, and on many lists, so we don't want to clutter this >list with a bunch of obviously off-topic emails, ok? > If you have WILKINSON CO. RESOURCES/BOOKS/ETC., that you are willing to >share, or do occasional look-ups, please offer it on the list. > Will be looking for YOUR POSTS soon!! Have fun! > Happy Hunting! TINA/CA List Mgr. >
