We haven't had any interest shown in the Hallman list for quite a while. I'm wondering if there is any interest in continuing it? I'd like to have some input from our subscribers. Do you feel the list is worth continuing? >> Is there a requirement of "activity" on the list? Personally, I like having a forum, and a ready connection, if I find something to share in terms of general data, or a question or new info on known descendants of Anthony. I particularly like having a connection with others with a common ancestor rather than just a surname, and I hope the list will continue. When someone makes a new "find", it's "my family", not just a name I'm researching. But I do not think there needs to be an effort made to "post something", just to have "activity". An occasional post from someone new, or a find, is reason enough to have the list. And, I think from what I've seen, that if someone has an answer to a question that's asked, they are more than willing to answer. I've known of my connection to Anthony for more than fifteen years now, and like with every other name, there may be nothing to pursue or no new lead to follow, and then someone adds an idea and I return to actively work the family again. I vote to continue--but with no pressure on anyone to provide "activity?! Edie
