Many years ago a kind genealogist pointed out to me some glaring problems I was creating for myself and others by a lack of genealogical etiquette. They included not capping surnames and not totally identifying locations, (ie City, County, State) which leads to extra efforts on everyone's part. I must confess though that even to this day I forget at times to follow this rule but I promise to keep trying. Frank Heger: (New) [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "Catherine R.

I find it of enormous benefit to be able to scan down a message to see if I know that name, without having to read the message line by line. I'd also like to see surnames in caps all the time, not to mention using Capital letters to start a sentence. When somebody enters a search request without caps in the right places, I just delete it. Life is to short to go hunt-and-peck through all those message boards. > > Now I'm finishing griping for awhile.
