Fellow Researchers, Sure hope some of the recent roll call messages have helped you to connect with other researchers or even a long-lost cousin. After the current Roll Call is complete, and folks get back to posting a regular message or query, please remember that you can usually get more information if you able to include 3 or 4 of the basics. WHO?...WHAT?...WHERE?...WHEN?.... Remember the "WHAT" can mean any of the following: date of birth, date of death, date of burial, year of residence, date of marriage etc. Just let us add to what you already have, if we can. Please do not ask a volunteer for anything/everything on a specific surname. The nice list of free lookups does help to eliminate that problem somewhat. http://www.centurytel.net/lorgen/lookups.htm Hope all of you have used it often. BTW, when you are able to connect & exchange data with someone, please share the specific sources you have already checked & the results. Of course, with so many people online, the number of requests have increased while volunteers are becoming fewer in number. There is such joy in genealogy, happy hunting! -- Nancy M.
