I really missed something here about the reasoning for surnames... but HALL - MALTBY - POTTER are the ones I have been chasing around.

Evelyn -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nan Dixon Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 4:52 AM To: Mailing list Subject: [NYJEFFER] Surname addresses The last two batches are up, and surnames are still coming in. That's good news for us! I am guessing (I didn't take the time to count) that nearly 100 names have been added in the past two weeks. Pat sure got things stirred up on the list! Now I am getting replies like this one: Delivery failed 48 attempts: [email protected] I cannot emphasize too strongly that in order for your surname to have results for you, people must be able to use your email address. That is the main reason I ask you to list your address next to your name and surname. I am not, and I repeat NOT computer savvy. I am willing to help, but you must make things easy for me. Looking at the above address, it is probably part of the 2 screens full of (to me) garbage in front of every email I download, and I guessed the wrong bit...on an email that did not contain a return address. One more thing: I admit to being a suspicious old woman, and when your spam filter asks me to contact you the second time to get information to you, it's not going to happen unless I know you and we have corresponded before. I have sent out acknowledgements for all of those surnames mentioned above, and to send out two letters...it's past my bedtime. If you want information from me, send me a note telling me that you have a spam filter and ask me to register, and that's a note from you, not your automated machine. One last bit: I'm receiving information indicating that some of you are not familiar with <http://www.rootsweb.com/~nyjeffer/> Check it out. It was the proud parent of this list back when the list was first formed. Pay attention to the FAQs. Hey, you might even get a clue to your loved and lost!

Grove, The reasoning behind the surname list is to allow people working with the same surname to exchange information on that surname, and in this case surnames of people who once lived in Jefferson County, NY. You are not likely to get much help if your ancestors never left Watertown, MA, or spent their lives in Cole Camp, MO. Assuming that yours came from Jeff Co (why else be on the Jefferson County Mailing List!) yours will go up with the next upload.
