Hello All, As a new subscriber and serious researcher I am interested in every message. I hope this "List" keeps up the good work on a friendly basis. Other lists I participate in have lots of unrelated messages . . . jokes, inspirational, etc., etc. As Lois says . . . there is always the delete key. In a message dated 98-09-05 11:29:03 EDT, Lois writes, and I say AMEN! << Hi List, Life is all about making choices and I have included a few. 1. Be determined to make that great connection. 2. Share your infomation. 3. Glean information as it is provided by others. 4. Learn from others. 5. Relate to fellow researchers with their trials & tribulations. 6. Use delete key as needed. 7. Unsubscribe as a last resort. I prefer to use the first five choices and in doing so have make a wonderful find on this List. I believe genealogy requires patience, patience, patience. >>
