Hi John and Terri,To answer your question. I receive a copy of the note that Jean sends to the new member welcoming them to the association, attached to that note is the initial request to join. Sometimes the member just asks to join, other times they mention their lines or questions about their Sackett name. Since I became president, I decided to follow in Chris' footsteps and send a personal note to the list. Sometimes it generates interest and sometimes I'm sure people are quick to hit the delete key! :} If by chance someone sees a connection then they can send their own personal note to the list or to the new member. I know that I was very interested in Walter and Aleta Pogue, and their Pogue connection to the Barbees. I guess it IS all about connecting. Thanks for your question, and I hope the new members don't mind my comments.

I don't see any of the connections that you comment on when you welcome them.

Jenn, I took a peek at the database to see if I could find your line. There are certainly a LOT of Samuels and Sarah Sacketts!!

One other note of explanation: The web site is updated once a month, so our info on new members doesn't necessarily show up right away. But Debbie's personal welcome notes usually refer to any lineage info we've received, so other members can get in touch sooner if they think they're connected to the new person.
