Yes, Rootsweb was down for over a week due to Ancestry getting a cyber attack. Things may be a bit quirky so patience will be needed, let me know off the list, if you are having any problems. To get back into it, lets have a ROLL CALL! A good roll call has: SURNAME in caps in the Subject Only one surname, per Roll Call Where from, where he/she immigrated to When (born, emigrated, married, died) Immediate family (children, parents) What/who are you looking for. Of course, one of the reasons we are sending a Roll Call is to get help/suggestions on our research and maybe, just maybe connect with a cousin. So, you want your Roll Call read. If it is too long and involved, it won't be read fully, so keep it brief. So, let's get started to know one another again, Pat -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com
