Ah yes, I'm still here! Silently working away trying to get caught up on two and a half months worth of back-log from moving! Thankfully I don't *EVER* plan on doing that again! And to think, I didn't even have to move all of our kids and worldly possessions in a wagon and moving only thirty miles a day! Now that you pointed it out, Tim hasn't heckled me in quite a while! Maybe because I myself have been quiet! And yes, a roll call about now would probably be a good idea. There are (off the top of my head) about 300 subscribers to this list so go ahead and put your surnames out here for everyone to see! If you would please, follow Marge's format below, such as include dates, places, etc. if you know them. Its hard to know if you are researching the same as I when all you put is "Looking for SMITH!" (By the way, I'm not researching Smith's, just an example.) And putting SURNAMES in caps is a very good attention grabber, especially for those who skim an email looking for just the surnames (yes, I will admit to doing just that)! I will throw mine out later, need to get my dates in order so I can follow my own guide lines :) No Marge, your article hasn't appeared on here though I will eventually get it on the website. It's on my list! Having a dilly of a time finishing unpacking my genealogy things. Others helped packed some of it and CD's got put in cases other than the ones they are supposed to be in so opening up a case is always a surprise anymore! I *think* they meant it as a practical joke but I can't find half of what I'm looking for anymore! ** Hal ** this is what has happened to the CD you sent me, got the case right here with one of my music CD's in it so I'm still unpacking to find the music CD case to get your disk! (And my mother wondered why I wanted to pack everything myself!!) So, on with the roll call and I've got digging to do and rugrats to clean up!

Usually, whenever, Tim or I THINK that Angela needs a little stirring up, one of us takes care of the matter. I guess w / me out of it for the pat 6 wks. almost, Tim dropped the ball and didn't get anything going. I am wondering, and our illustrious list manager can make the decision on this because sometimes people get carried away. However, it seems like it has been quite a while, unless it was recently, since we had a simple roll call. I don't mean 400 words of description for each Perry Co line you are researching. Just, first and last names, wives, and time frame would keep it simple. How about it, Angela, should we see if anyone out there knows anything about my people? For example, PETTY, Joseph, wife Elizabeth ?, son Jacob, b. 1801 in NJ. Line through Josiah, s/o of Jacob and Millie BARNES PETTY, Reading Tp. ELDER, Minnesota, wife of Wm H. Petty, d/o of Ashbury ELDER I am told, don't have documentation yet; need picture ID of Minnesota MURDOCK, Arthur, came from N. Ireland ca. 1820 to Chester Co., PA, to OH after 1825 sometime; 2nd wife Hannah HANTHORN, line through s/o Arthur and first wife who died in IRELAND, George and Sarah Angelina MAJOR, both born. ca. 1810, both died leaving possibly two sons, Archibald MAJOR MURDOCK and perhaps James Arthur MURDOCK; need burial and death info for parents and fate of James Arthur If we limit each query to 3-4 names and put the names in caps at the top it is easy to see if you need to read this one or that one. What do you think? There might be a Petty researcher lurking around the corner somewhere who has not heard from me! I'm glad to be coming back after almost taking the big trip w/ adverse reaction to anesthetic. I am weak, but the mouth still goes and the typing is coming back. So look out list, there will be no more quiet. Angela, did my article about the Petty Researchers meeting in July get posted on here?
