Dear List Members, since the list has been quiet, how about each of you posting your queries on your WISCONSIN GERMAN lines. REMEMBER the more details you give the more likely you are to make a connection! DO NOT PUT ROLL CALL IN YOUR SUBJECT LINES! NAME-DATE-PLACE ONLY IN SUBJECT LINES PLEASE! CHANGE THE SUBJECT LINE TO REFLECT YOUR OWN MESSAGE. Please follow these steps for a good query: 1. SURNAME in CAPITAL letters. Full name of ancestors and spouse. Dates of births, marriages, deaths if known. 2. TIME FRAME: ie: 1830-1900 3.COUNTY or TOWN 4. COLLATERAL SURNAMES connected to your WISCONSIN GERMAN lines, also in CAPITAL letters. 5. SHARE a story or obits, wills or other data on your WISCONSIN GERMAN lines if you have them! DON'T BE SHY! Tell us your brick walls, success stories or a family tale related to your GERMAN lines. Share a GERMAN family recipe! Share your GERMAN Heritage! REMINDER: No Forwarding of mail from other lists is permitted without the permission of the author and if it is off-topic for this list it must be first cleared with me as the list administrator to decide if the message may be posted to the list. Keep quoting to a minimum. "Quoting" is repeating text of the message you are replying to. Some quoting is necessary to remind other readers what the thread is about but do try to use good judgment. Quoting the previous writer's signature block or surname list is totally unnecessary. Please refer to the list home page if you have a question regarding list rules.
