Could someone who is not too busy explain what this "new roll call" is about and how I can use it. Sure, the "roll call" is simply a wat to get the names you are researching posted on the list so others who may also be looking for those names can get in touch with you. I subscribe to quite a few lists and often make contact with others who can help. That's really what the list is all about. "Roll Call" is the term used by many lists for subscribers to post their surnames of interest.
