Dear Juleen, Lemme see if i can help; i didn't suggest that U would POST a message there... but do a SEARCH and then read the messages that come up... < i will explain later how U POST > Basically in a Roll Call U identify the family names U are researching, as well, if at all possible, the villages where these families came from... For instance in my case i would write: Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 00:25:14 -0300 From: "Jay in NS" <jmeeuwig@attcanada.ca> To: GermanRussian-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GERmanRUSsian] Roll CallL: HUMMEL; ROTH; SAUTER; WIDMAIER < alphabetically... > Private correspondence with another member reminded me how important it is to every so often have a rool call, so other folks, old and new members alike , have a chance to see what information one is researching. Summer is over and so now is a good time to kick of a roll call eh! The names i put up there are the primary families; there are of course many others associated with the aforementioned ones. The villages of interest are NEUBURG ALEXANDERHILF ROSENFELD < Konoplewo on the Kuyalnik > and other adjacent villages and settlements. All members are/were Lutheran or other protestant denominations.

I went to the site you sent but I don't understand how to post a roll call. I get that I can post the family I am searching for and ask for help looking for them in Russia. But what else do I do other than go to that web site? I'm lost. I must say that I am new to the internet and all this. Are any of the St. Petersburg archives on line? Where are the best free sites to do research? You seem to know so much about all this. Thank you for any help you can give and I will keep rooting. Juleen
