My name is Kathleen Burnett and I am your new List Mom. I want to take a moment and let you know who I am and a little about myself and how I work as a Mailing List Mom. I am a mother of 4 and grandmother of 10. I work outside of the home during the day and I am a list Mom to several other Mailing Lists. I am a hands on List Mom, meaning I keep track of what is going on with the mailing list and if you are ever in need of me during the day, while at work, you can reach me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. If I do not respond to you in a timely manner you can reach me at Kathleen.Burnett@era.com My goal for your list is to keep it a safe place for you to research post and share information regarding your ancestors of St. Joseph Co., Michigan. Safe meaning a place where you are not subject to postings other than posting related to the subject of the list. For your information, the MISTJOSE Mailing List has 190 members, 137 of these are subscribed to the Regular List and 53 to the Digest List. I have very few rules on the lists I watch over; the main one is to treat your fellow members as you would like to be treated; Roll Calls will be called by me, with a beginning date and an ending date and the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc. (in other words - Spam) is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me, KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net If you would like to visit the archived messages for this list you may go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com and type in MISTJOSE from there you can search by date. There is a great Rootsweb site, Password Central; you can go to if you want to find out what Rootsweb lists you are a member of or need to unsubscribe from a list, just follow the instructions. http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ I wish for each of you a success with your most difficult genealogical mystery and I look forward to getting to know you.
