Dear Listmembers: I am not sure how many folks are subscribed to this list as I am *not* the list admin. And I do not know who is. I do see there has not been much activity and that folks may come and go as subscribers without having received any messages at all, as they are so few and far between. So... I suggest that we have a Roll Call to bring the listmembers out of the woodpile and get some activity going on this list. Och! O'Connell may as well be Smith, as numerous as it is in Ireland. I canna believe there are not many O'Connell's subscribed to this list and seeking a connection with others! I would also encourage discussion amounst us listmembers about our O'Connell relatives and history. There must be some reason we have subscribed to this list other than to just wait til someone shows up and posts our piece of the O'Connell Mystery. : ) I will post my line later -- I am not writing from home. Erin go Bragh! Lauren Boyd daughter of Geraldine O'Connell, San Francisco, CA 1915-1988
