Hello, All! It's delightful to see the IP list so active. How fortunate for all of you who are experiencing such success at breaking down IP genealogical brick walls! I'll admit to feeling mildly envious. :) My EMPEY family has been all-too-elusive. Just a reminder to everyone that the IP list is of the self-service variety. If you change email addresses, please unsub the old address and subscribe the new one. To sub or unsub use the following address: IRL-PALATINE-L-request@rootsweb.com Just put either the word, subscribe, or, unsubscribe, in the subject field and in the body of the message. Be sure to send the message from the relevant address. (i.e. unsub the old address by sending the unsub command FROM the old address before it disappears...) Thanks. Susan IP List Administrator
