Hi everyone! Tonight I would like to break with tradition and intitiate a Roll Call. Normally I don't like doing these on larger lists, but in this case, it might be a good idea to try since we're a smaller group. We have a list membership of 68 people. Among those, surely we have some undiscovered relatives. :-) Here's how we'll do this particular Roll Call. List one name per e-mail or one couple or family per e-mail. Please do not list three to four generations. That gets a little hard to follow especially for those in plain text Digest Mode. Remember to place the name you're researching in the Subject line of your e-mail. That will make it easier for those that browse their list mail. Also mention any ancestor you're having a difficult time finding. Maybe the answer lies among the membership of this list. Its always nice to crumble a brick wall or two. :-) Please be brief in your list queries. Happy hunting! Rick B
