Hi y'all, I thought that I'd try something new, a Sunday mini-newsletter from me so please give me some feedback and if you have any information that you'd like to add to it, please contact at <impattic@mediaone.net>. First, while I have your undivided attention <g> a few posting rules (?). When posting a query to the list always make the Subject line pertinent to your post. ie: Subject: CALDWELL, Patti Armstrong Co. You'll find that if you get in the habit of doing this, you'll get many more replies to your queries. Lots of folks use email filters & won't see your message if the Subject line isn't utilized properly. And when your answering a post, change the subject line to reflect the answer (especially when answering a digest list post). Otherwise the Subject line will read: "CALDWELL-D Digest V98 #49" or some such and we won't have a clue of what your replying to. This list has the Reply function set up so that all replies go back to the list. If you also want your reply to go to the person your replying to, you can highlight their email address & then select reply to all & their address should show up in the To: line. (That's how Eudora does it). If you use a different email program just cut & paste their email address. This would apply also if you want to send a private message to someone. Just replace the reply address with the one that you want to send to. Enough lecturing for now... I thought that I'd share some URL's that I've found most useful in my research. Obtaining NATF 80 Forms <http://www.outfitters.com/illinois/history/civil/natf.html> Public Records on the Web (there is a charge if you send for the records) <http://www.knowx.com/> American Revolutionary War Links <http://www.libertynet.org/iha/march/links.htm#gen> On SUNDAY only, let's post URL's that we've found useful! In your subject line, type "USEFUL LINKS" so that those of us that use filters can set them up. One more idea, then I'll shut up. What do y'all think of designating a day to posting "our most wanted surnames"? If enough of you want this, I'll set up one day a month or so to do this. Please reply to me privately. Have a great week & happy hunting! |||||| (o o) oOOo-(_)-oOOo ___|___|___|___|___| ___|___|___|___|___| Just popping over to say... Hello! Patti Caldwell Fasy <impattic@mediaone.net>
