Hi everyone, This will be a rather long read and for that I apologize in advance. However, I ask that you read all this. There is very important data inside both that you need to be made aware of. I won't do this to you again, I promise! :) You might want to print this message out and keep it by your computer. Topics include: 1. Who I am 2. How I operate the lists 3. List guidelines 4. The usual administrator nit-picky stuff * Virus messages * Chain letters * Me too! messages 5. Chat forum 6. Subscribe/unsubscribe procedures 7. To post messages to the list 8. If you go on vacation 9. Contacting me WHO I AM I didn't get to introduce myself properly to you on Tuesday, and I'd like to do so here. My name is Colleen Pustola [2-l's and 2-e's in Colleen, please]. I'm an Army wife and the mother of five terrific kids with two still at home. My pseudonym, Lady Audris, comes from one of my former obsessions :) as a living historian/teacher of the medieval period. I've been researching my lines for 25 years, teaching this science for 18, and guest-speaking at genealogical seminars and in schools for 13. Though I'm not Mormon, I did receive the bulk of my formal training from them so reciprocate by volunteering in their Family History Centers whenever we live near one. I've published my first book, the "Bower/Winchcomb Connection" and am currently working on six others including an update of the first. I am also the discussion coordinator for 53 other Rootsweb lists, 30 Rootsweb message boards, and have been a coordinator since August 1998. I have two domains on the Web with four sites. Yes, I stay *very* busy. You now know my whole life in a nutshell! :) HOW I OPERATE A LIST Frankly, I don't like dictatorial listowners! They make me nervous and afraid to post! So, I guess you could say I'm rather laid-back. The only time I get "freaky" is if you break one of the first two guidelines. Basically, I run the list with respect and consideration for everyone. I hope you'll participate in the same way. LIST GUIDELINES I do NOT mandate a "format-this-way" or "post-only-these-items" policy. Keep in mind we all have three goals to achieve: 1. Enjoy ourselves! 2. Find our ancestral lines and inline cousins. 3. Get as much data online as possible to accomplish the first two! We do, however, have some guidelines that we follow in order to maintain a happy medium for everyone: 1. NEVER flame [verbally attack] anyone on the list. The penalty for this is IMMEDIATE removal. If you have a problem with one of the list members, do not post what you think about them. That's what I'm here for. There is never a justification to say hateful words and hurt someone. Hurt feelings get nobody anywhere and can make the entire group feel uneasy and unhappy. If you're unhappy with someone, direct it to me where we can discuss it. 2. Newbies to genealogy are VERY special. Treat them with much kindness as they struggle to learn the where's and how's of not only how to research, but how to participate in a discussion list without feeling afraid, intimidated, or demeaned. 3. Criticism is always gentle and constructive. We all make mistakes [I make them all the time!], and we need to remember that maybe not everyone is having as great a day as you are. If someone makes a mistake on something, go to their rescue and show him/her how to do it, if you know how. 4. Always show compassion towards someone who is having trouble with something. But first, always ask if he/she would like for you to help them learn. Please remember not to write anyone and deliberately point out how many mistakes they have made. This would be outright rude, and we're all above that. That person might be having a rough day with mistakes spilling out every time they try to do something. 5. When you post messages to the list, please try to use a helpful subject line like "John DOE d. 1800 WI," rather than a generic one like "inquiry about my family line." 6. Your messages through RootsWeb's servers MUST ALWAYS be in text format. If you try to use HTML or MIME formats or try to send an attachment with your message. The RootsWeb server will simply kick your message out and bounce it to me as an error. This is their policy, not mine. 7. Virus epidemics are spreading through the lists more and more often. It is unsettling to most list members to receive list messages from other members whose computers are known to be infected. It is my responsibility to protect the list as a unit. Therefore, any list member whose computer is known to be infected WILL BE MANUALLY UNSUBSCRIBED from the list until I know for sure your machine is clean. You can do this by sending me an email privately. If I don't receive an attachment or any other wierd thing resulting from a message from you, then I'll know your machine is 'recovered' and I'll manually resubscribe you. THE USUAL ADMINISTRATOR NIT-PICKY STUFF **VIRUS MESSAGES: We've had some pretty wicked viruses plague us the last 1-1/2 years. I was [thankfully] forewarned of two of them from a genealogy list I was on. Like everyone else however, I've also seen so many old virus warnings that I also get disgruntled when they're put out again and again. If you are alerted to a virus warning - BEFORE you send a message to this list please check it out first to make sure it isn't a hoax. You can do so by going to <http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html> and doing a search for the particular virus you are concerned about. Once you've ascertained you're not dealing with a hoax -- please use the CHAT: format to tell everyone. **CHAIN LETTERS -- These are a bane to the existence of e-mail lists and the members on them. Please do not post chain-letters to the list. They serve no purpose other than to clog the system and make a lot of people cranky. **"ME TOO!" MESSAGES -- I have yet to fully comprehend the purpose of this type of message other than to glut a list with yet more bandwidth. Unless we are taking a list vote - which if necessary, I will generate - please try not to post these to the list. Also, please realize that we are all quick to hit the 'reply' button [I do it too], and sometimes these slips will happen particularly with new list members or especially, our newbies. **ROLL CALLS -- If we need one because of a too-quiet list, I'll announce it. Why me?... Because I have guidelines for our newbies that help them be able to participate, as well. I also try to help our lurkers be willing to join in. It does nobody any good to have a roll call if half the people can't/won't contribute. That's it. No harrassing "form your messages this and such way." No "you will...." Post anything you desire provided it's about our surname, genealogy and ancestral material. Off-topic items (including virus notices) and discussion are covered in the next section. «:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:»«:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:» CHAT: FORUM There are times when you have something to say that's not on-topic for the list, but you think the list should know it. You have two choices here: you can either send it to me to be related to everyone or you can use the CHAT: format. There are two rules to using CHAT: 1. You _must_ start your subject line with CHAT: 2. Absolutely NO genealogy is to be put in CHAT: messages because not everyone wants to read CHAT: forum messages. Those people know to simply delete messages with CHAT: in the subject line. CHAT: format messages are not an everyday occurrence. They happen here and there. The only, and longest, time the CHAT: forum is actively open is the period starting Thanksgiving day through to January 2nd so everyone can post holiday messages, recipes, traditions, etc. After that, the CHAT: forum closes and resumes its normal inactivity. «:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:»«:*´`³¤³´`*:»§«:*´`³¤³´`*:» *****IMPORTANT!!! *****IMPORTANT!!!***** Below is a list of commands we use at Rootsweb.

I'm discussion coordinator for 53 other email lists, webmistress for two domains and 4 websites, 30 Rootsweb message boards, and I'm currently working on my second book. Please, be sure to IDENTIFY THE LIST YOU'RE ON WHEN YOU EMAIL ME because with so many people, I have trouble keeping track of who is in which research group. I also have an adoring husband and 5 kids (2 teenagers still at home) meaning, a home life. Hence, I have a very full plate here. Please be patient if you email me and I'll do my best to respond within a reasonable amount of time. (at the present, "current" = about a week; sometimes sooner) Since this is a longy and I don't know that everyone will read to the end of this message, I'll be sending another, much shorter message out behind this one. I wish you all good luck in your research! Colleen Pustola Discussion Coordinator ladyaudris@earthlink.net

I am looking for information about my great grandfather Michael Bernardy. He was born in Irsch, Germany in 1860. He apparently lived in Menominee for a period of time in the late 1880s and early 1890s. In 1889, he married Maggie Kullman (Kuhlman) in Manitowoc Rapids, WI, and the marriage certificate indicates that he lived in Menominee. My grandfather's (Charles) social security application indicates that he was born in Menominee in 1890, although neither Michigan nor Menominee County have found his birth certificate. Charles' brother John was also born in Menominee in 1891 and I have John's birth certificate verifying that. Apparently, Michael and Maggie and their two sons moved to Chicago in the summer of 1892, because they filed John's birth certificate in July and their son Michael was born in Chicago in October 1892. They remained in Chicago the rest of their lives. I would appreciate any information on Michael Bernardy or any other Bernardys in the Menominee area. Anna Marie Bernardy Schuh

Please keep the gateway open. My father, Laurence C. Johannesen was born at Stephensen, 1898. My grandparents, Jens Johannesen and Amalie Paulsen and three uncles are buried at the Danish-Lutheran Cemetery there and my gr-grandmother, Maren Jensen is buried atMenominee. I am 73 year old lady in Sun City West, AZ. No way can I get up there to do research. I am hoping one day one of my Paulsen cousins, I know they are there somewhere, will get on this list and find me. It is my only hope, I have tried everything else. My grandparents immigrated to Menominee in1892 from Brejning, Ringkøbing County Denmark. Hazel Johannesen Tarr

I vote to keep the gateway open!!!!! I live in Beaufort, SC and have accessed all areas of the Menominee site looking for family member information. My grandparents resided in Menominee their entire lives. I have been to Menominee and like the area very much. I also vote Menominee's website #1 - this site contains more information than some of the larger cities and is much easier to maneuver than those of the bigger city. Keep up the good work!

Hey Colleen....What some people won't do to get a list into sunday morning coffee....I jest...Was MImeno there before? Anyway..... glad for the reply to change....since this will help the newbies a lot more than any tutorial.... Glad for the gateway because I do not ever use the message boards... They are the easiest to use for the newbies but I just do not have time to sit and scan for the notes to the boards...at least if they go to the list, we can glance and delete or even answer..... hope for a shorter prepend...MImeno is sufficient.... Glad for a shorter DIGEST because then we don't get responses so far in the past from readers who don't get to their digests fast enough...and the answer has hit the list too too too many times before they finally get their two cents in.... Would be glad for a map on the county site that would show the area of other counties that became part of Meno and which areas of Meno might have been given up to other counties....need this for census rolls.... Re how folks should go to the cemeteries... they ought to try MapQuest which on some results will actually have aerial views on a tab above the street map.... 'Course, MImeno being in the UP and not being very populated, maybe the satellites haven't taken any aerial views... darn.... Glad you are ...IN CONTROL...valentine ----- Original Message ----- From: Colleen Pustola Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 5:19 PM To: MIMENOMI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MIMENOMI] PLEASE READ: NEW LIST ADMINISTRATOR Hi everyone, This is just a quick message to let you know that effective yesterday, August 9th, I am the new list administrator.

Hello, Archie Leinen and Esima Hamel, both residents of Hancock, Houghton County MI were first married Sept. 7, 1918. Esima was the daughter of Joseph Hamel and Genevieve Homier who married in L'Anse, MI. Apparantly, the first marriage was by a justice of the peace because I found a marriage record for the same couple married Oct. 16, 1920 at same place and I assume this was a "church wedding." Family says they eventually moved to Menominee, MI. I am looking for any children's birth, death, or marriages of this couple. And I would also need death dates for both Archie and Esima. Esima is my husband's aunt. Esima was the oldest of 9 children, born circa 1899. Thank you. Luanne Golden Hamel

Hello, I'd like to put the whole web site up for adoption at http://www.menomineecounty.homestead.com/homepage.html if any one is interested here is what you'll have to do..... you will need to build a Menominee county web site and transfer my information to your site. There really isn't to much to maintain after transfering the pages to your site you'll be keeping the marriage & cemetery pages updated an answer emails the best you can. I'll help any one out as long as they may need me.

Surnames: PETERSON CARLSON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/RGB.2ACI/372.1 Message Board Post: The store in Carney was also called the Peterson Brothers Store. They purchased it from Otto Carlson when Otto and his family moved to Washington State. My grandfather, Carl Gustav Peterson Carlson, was Louis Peterson's son. Louis was Bengt's brother and was killed in a mining accident in 1882 or 83. Carl (actually called Gust) was adopted by Otto after Otto married Louis's widow, Mathilda Anderson.
