Listmembers: Let have a roll call and get some queries on our list. Roll Call to begin on Tuesday,July 31 at 6am --Sunday, August 5th at midnight. Most of you long standing subbers know what a roll call is, but for the benefit of the new subbers: This is just my way of generating some list activity, as nobody gets any answers if there are no posts. As everyone knows there are just a few guidelines to follow for our roll calls: 1. DO NOT PLACE THE WORDS "ROLL CALL" IN THE SUBJECT LINE. 2. DO NOT HIT THE REPLY BUTTON, ADDRESS IT TO THE LIST. (Hitting the reply sends it back to me, and then nobody sees it). 3. Include in your subject line: Name of the person(s)//time frame (if known)//location 4. Be specific in your queries 5. For your own benefit, DON'T just send a query that says "Looking for SAMSON surname". 6. Include as much info in the body of the query as you can for the best possible results. 7. Capitalize your SURNAMES within the text so that they stand out to others. 8. Answer whatever queries you can, IF you have info...please don't just answer to say "I don't know". Good Luck and I hope everyone makes a connection. Remember, this runs from Tues. July 31--Sunday August 5th.

Dear list members, We are interested in learning of the location of any manuscript church records which may exist for Primitive Baptist churches in Indiana (as well as other states). If any of you know of any, please let me know. We are trying to preserve them, film them, extract names of members from them, and then write histories of the churches and name the surnames of the members, on our website, which will be a tool for family history researchers as well as church history researchers. We have several already, for Indiana, and are presently working on this project for Missouri and Indiana, after having pretty much completed what we can do for Illinois and Iowa with the records we have. Our website, if you wish to see for yourself what we are doing, is: http://www.carthage.lib.il.us/community/churches/primbap/pbl.html (the ".html" at the end must be appended for it to work - the URL is lengthy and tends to cut off part of the html, so it must be put back on, before you click on it, to go to our site). After you reach our homepage, there are links to click on for about 14 states, but only Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Indiana have much or some completed at this time. We welcome you to write on one of our guestbooks. Sincerely, Robert Webb The Primitive Baptist Library ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!

Wow! What an incredible experience! So incredible that I'd like to share it with everyone. By this evening I received 51 responses to the message I sent last night. I will give a brief rundown of the nature of the responses. 1 person provided me with Jake's e-mail address. I am copying him on this message and including my and his original messages below so that he can put the results in perspective. 36 people agreed with me outright. Many thanked me for saying what they hadn't. 2 of these people asked me about my lineage. I will be responding to them this weekend. 2 people didn't understand my message. 1 County Coordinator asked for my permission to forward my message to the County Coordinator's List. 2 County Coordinators said my message would never be read by anyone at RootsWeb or Ancestry.com. 4 people offered help in getting around the new system. 3 people were offended by my language. For that I apologize. I certainly could have used a better choice of words and still had the same impact. I have reworded my original message below to avoid offending them again. 1 person responded with no message. 2 responses were received with a virus infected attachment. These appeared to come from the same person. Fortunately, my Norton AntiVirus issued warnings immediately that the attachments were infected. Thank you all for the kind words of support. I hope sending my original message and copying the results to Mr. Gehring will affect changes at RootsWeb in a positive way. I will also be very happy to provide copies of these messages to Jake, without the senders' names, of course, unless I receive permission from those who sent them. At times keeping it simple can be a very difficult task. I have been programming for users since 1983 and have always tried to adhere to one very simple credo -- Get the user to his destination in three steps or less. There are times when it takes some deep thinking but it can usually be done. Ray Justus Chandler, AZ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ray W.

I appreciate your comments about the ease of use of the new search capabilities but there is one thing that has left me dumbfounded the past several weeks. Why in the world do you want to make it so difficult for us to get to the point where we can do a search? Whenever I click on a button at a RootsWeb County site that says Queries, Bios, Obits, Pensions, Wills, Bible Records or Deeds, I am directed to a cryptic page that is titled in bold letters "Message Boards" and provides me with absolutely no information. I can then start an endless drill down to the other side of the earth or say, "Balderdash!" and go elsewhere. Do you have anyone on staff that actually does genealogy research?

Ray Justus Chandler, AZ ------------------------- Jake's Original Message ------------------------- MESSAGE FROM THE ROOTSWEB HOME OFFICE by Jake Gehring, RootsWeb Executive Producer Our message boards improvements continue this week. My comments regard the search features in the new system. Sometimes certain boards and the messages they contain have been moved since they were initially indexed -- when you search and try to view posts, you get an error message asking you to check back in a few hours. In some cases this message lasts a lot longer than expected. We're changing the error message and working hard to fix the underlying problem. I'll report the status of this issue next week. Generally, however, we hope that you are impressed with the new search features. The new system shows search results ranked by relevance -- meaning that the system will display the best hits first. For example, messages that contain all of your terms are ranked higher than those that contain only some. Here are a couple of additional search tips: Wildcard Searching. The new message boards allow wildcard searching as long as the user specifies at least the first three characters in the word (i.e., users can search for "gehr*" to find "gehring, gehrig, gehrke," etc.). Search Operators. New functionality allows users to add powerful operators to their search terms to affect results. These operators, the plus and minus signs, are placed just before your search terms and function like popular Internet search engines Yahoo! and AltaVista. If you put a plus (+) sign in front of any word, that word *must* appear in a message for it to be a match. If there are terms that you want to exclude (you don't want to see messages in which these terms appear), you can place a minus sign (-) in front of them. For example, a search for "+gehring heinrich -baden" will return only those hits that contain the word "gehring" but not the word "baden", and in this group any messages containing "heinrich" will be displayed before those that don't.

I apologize to everyone for the incomplete message I just sent. Let's try it again. Jake, I don't know if this message has a snowball's chance in hell of reaching you but I pray that it does.
