Dear Pyle Cousins, In reviewing over 200 messages that have appeared on this list, most of them have utilized a specific subject line. The ones that didn't were new members doing their first posting and some where a location is unknown. I think the postings have been wonderful and I believe we have a couple of success stories already, i.e. Bobi finding Daniel Boone PYLE's line and Dan linking up with Rita's line. We need to post our queries at least once a month because we add new members all the time. If you find something you feel would be of interest to the group, please post it. Hopefully, you are doing research in your local libraries; visiting/writing to courthouses for records; and cemeteries. The net is a wonderful place for making contacts and getting leads but cannot take the place of old fashioned research and documentation! Lastly, I think that we need to realize that this list is only a month old, some folks have never been on a maillist before and are just learning about "netiquette". We need to remember we are probably all related in some way and all working toward the same goal. This is why I refer to us as "cousins". Let's continue a lighthearted spirit of cooperation between us as we seek our heritage. Sara pyle@airmail.net
