Hello Everyone, I would like to take a moment to update you on the CENSUS-LOOKUP lists. As you all know the lists are less than a week old but what you may not know is that over the past few days we have had aprox. 200 subscriptions a day ! We are growing at a rate I never even considered possible. I hope and pray this continues, I know many CC's are adding links to their county pages and this will benefit us as well. Some of the state mailing lists (CENSUS-LOOKUP) are well over 200 people per state list while others are not nearly as busy. It is my hope that everyone will try to help a fellow researcher by doing lookups if they have the material. I have received many letters from people who are willing to help do the lookups when the queries are from the counties they research and have census for. Please chip in and do the same if you can. If everyone gives just a little we will all gain alot. Just imagine how wonderful it would be to send a query about a "brick wall" and get an answer without having to spend hours at the library reading film and leaving with an eye strain and migraine ;) That is my goal for these lists. I can already see that there is huge interest and need for these lists, we just have to pool our resources together and help one another. Please remember to not flood the lists with a ton of lookup requests all at once. Take your time and also resubmit your query in a week or so if you have not gotten an answer. It would also be wonderful if you could send the answers to the queries to the lists so we may all see the results. Thanks and Good Luck in your research, Kelly
