Hi Teri, I've just resubscribed to the list after being off for a couple of years. I checked the archives, but am not too sure whether you called for a roll call or whether some of the members just thought you had seeing as the topic arose in a query? When I searched for "roll and call" I got 21 hits for this month, but none for 2004? thanks for the wonderful work you do for those of us searching Mercer families.
