As listowner, I'd like to ask for those of you who subscribe to this KUNKEL-Kunkle-Conkle-Gunkel List: please send me your mailing or "snail mail" address (if you haven't sent it to me already & are not a Spindle subscriber). Please DON'T POST IT, but rather, send it in a personal reply to this message. I will keep it in a file and will refer to it when someone asks for a referral and I know/feel them to be a bona fide researcher on the line. If you could also place a query or surnames or something like Rootsweb has ("KUNKEL, 1600-1850, GER-PA" for example), it may be very helpful. Whatever info you care to send (or not) is OK. Those of you who know the researchers in our family know already that many of our more active folks aren't "on-line." This is the case for historian James E Kunkle (whose address is PO Box 140460, Edgewater CO 80214) and also for David Shannon (res. John Conkle of Washington Co PA) and Norma Olson (res. Henry Conkle of Washington Co PA, Ohio Co VA/WV). I try to send copies of the Email postings to James, albeit LATE, and he gets very frustrated when he can't just mail info to someone. Another reason for asking for snail mails is that you may go off-line sometime & then cousins wouldn't be able to contact you. I know one member who has changed emails every year, and he is easy to lose track of! If I didn't have his snail mail address, I wouldn't be able to contact him during those "in between" times. With increases in internet fees and the like, I expect even more changes as time goes on. Even for international folks---! Not to say that folks on line can't help each other! In our newsletter, I have an email list and I'd like you to tell me if it's okay that I place your name and research data in it. On one of the surname lists I have seen (the Hall List), the listowner has made up a really neat list using subscribers' email. It is sorted alpabetically by first names of the (furthest known) ancestors. If anyone is interested in this, please email me your data for this list. It is posted every so often (once a month?) and seems very promising. Updated additions are shown by an asterisk by the entry (*). Here is a sample: Adam C m 1855, res Licking Co OH - [email protected] Adam C d 1912 Columbus OH - [email protected] Anna Marie "Mary" K b 1794 Westmoreland Co PA - [email protected] Conrad G b abt 1655 - [email protected] Daniel S K - [email protected] Henry K b 1805 Indiana Co PA [email protected] Henry K b 1765 Haslint GER d 1859 GA [email protected] Joh Michael G d 1796 PA - [email protected] John C b 1730-31 GER d 1829 PA - [email protected] John Peter K, res 1810, Westmoreland Co PA - [email protected] John R Ko (1843-1909) Jefferson Co IN - [email protected] Joseph K b 1809 PA - [email protected] Louis K, GER>TX 1800's [email protected] Lovina K, 1857-1940, res York Co PA - [email protected] Mary K (Anna Marie) b 1794 Westmoreland Co PA [email protected] Michael G d 1796 PA - [email protected] Peter C, Columbiana Co OH - [email protected] You might let me know (if you think this is a good idea) whether we might abbreviate the last name of ancestor--such as "K" for Kunkel & Kunkle, "Ko" for Konkle & Konkel, "C" for Conkle & Conkel, "G" for Gunkel & Gunckel, "Kmn" for Kunkelman, "Klr" for Kunkler, etc. Thanks!
