Hi TIGS Listers, Per Kristen's suggestion let's have a roll call. Start out your subject line with ROLLCALL and follow it up with your surnames of interest. In the body of your message, give us your name and the part of the country/world in which you reside. Follow that up with any special information you may already have for the surnames in the subject line. I would suggest that you only have one or two surnames per message and send multiple messages if you have a lot of interests. A reminder. Most of us have the option set in our email to include the original message in our reply. This can become particularly onerous if various folks have previously replied to the same email(s) and the quoted material builds up. Please delete out extraneous material before hitting the send button. This situation is not too bad if you are receiving individual messages from the TIGS list. However, the TIGS list also has an option to accumulate the messages and send them out to you once a day in DIGEST mode. You can imagine that it is really a pain to try and get past all the quoted material when there are 5 or 10 unedited messages in the digest. Brad Miter (SW Ohio) List Administrator

Donna Vaughn Upstate New York Researching: Driscoll, Butler - Green Island (near Troy) mid-1800's forward For Driscoll: Ireland previous to Green Island (think it's County Cork but haven't confirmed that yet. ) For Butler: Canada before Green Island, and Ireland prior to that. At least 3 generations of "James Butler"-- gee, maybe I have a claim on Kilkenny Castle!
