Valerie, Regarding your comment that the "O'Brien name which would never be found in the archives as there is no mention of the name in the subject line" Here is a TIP to overcome this difficulty.... When you do searches make sure that you use the ADVANCED search option and run two searches--one putting the surname you are searching for in the Subject Line and another search putting the surname you are searching for in the BODY Line (note: not at the same time - run two separate searches!). This way, despite the manner in which the posting was made, you WILL be able to find (hopefully) what you are looking for. (NEVER say NEVER - lol!) The link to use to search ONLY the postings made to this particular mailing list (IRL-LIMERICK) is: http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=IRL-LIMERICK You have two options - KEYWORD OR ADVANCED CLICK on the ADVANCED TAB and do as I described above. It is not always easy to find things in the archives so I hope this "TIP" helps someone! We should probably all try to do better with our changing of subject lines, etc. but you should also be aware that changing subject lines is problematice too because changes to subject line often cause you not to be able to read complete "threads" to see how a certain subject progressed--and this can be majorly annoying when you've found a promising line that might pertain to your research only to "lose" it because the posters "changed" the subject line. So, again in this case this is where it comes in handy to use the ADVANCED search options. Happy (and successful!) Hunting!
