Sorry I wasn't more specific - this list has seven taglines that the RootsWeb robot is supposed to place under the signatures on the messages, one per message. I've often thought that probably no one reads these taglines - and then I couldn't find them myself when the need arose - GRRR. But Alan Bourdeau came to the rescue - many thanks, Alan. The missing taglines read something like this (and they should turn up!): Every posting is archived and may be accessed by going to: << http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=ilstanne >> To SEARCH the archives, enter your query (a keyword such as a surname or place, etc.). To READ threaded (sequential) postings, go to: << http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ILSTANNE-L >> So many questions we all have, have been asked and answered before - and the answers may be waiting for you, safe in the archives! This is especially true for our newer listers, who may find extensive discussions that took place in past years about their families. I will also send everyone a copy of the guidelines message that goes to all new listers - it includes the archives information. Salut to all! Ginny Crawford, administrator
