If we have a roll call , do not use " roll call " for the subject. In the subject line put a name. That way the search engines can find your post if someone just writes in a certain name for their search. We do need to make connections. Those of us who have been on the list for years may not be paying enough attention to the members who just joined. New subscribers join the list daily and some old members drop out. I sometimes wonder if we should start with our most recent family and go backwards. What good does it do me to start with Joseph Love who lived in the 1700s if some new member only has back 1880. They still may be related but we wouldn't know it.? Please do as Rikki says and lets get the names onto the list. Use your imagination .
