I don't know who the monitor of this list is, but quite often, when a list hits a 'quiet' spot, it could be beneficial to run a 'roll call'. Monitor, is this allowed?

I also learned that earlier documents (such as wills) will have to be accessed in Wilkes Barre, Luzerne Co., as the two counties used to be one. Unfortunately, a court house fire in Wilkes Barre destroyed many older documents. I must go to see if my great grandfather's will is by any chance, intact. They do have some early documents there.

Please, as one who has been on many lists for a number of years, I must say I do not like the use of a ROLL CALL, which some lists discourage. Too many people post a long list of only surnames, with no other information, which is not the most efficient use of time or space. I would hope that any request to enliven the list would stress that sufficient information be given about any individual listed in the query - full name, any known or possible dates, known or possible spouse, known or possible children. Not only do you tell fellow listers what you already know, but you narrow down time periods and possible references to check. The more information you provide, the better your chances of getting someone to answer your query with meaningful information.
