SHAMROCK Ancestor Party Guidelines The party will begin on Saturday, October 26, and go through Sunday evening, November 2. (All times are US Central time, please adjust to suit your time zone.) Let's try and "scare up" some ancestors, and make some connections! Please follow the guidelines below in order to ensure we all enjoy the party! These are also up at http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/partyguidelines Ancestor Party Guidelines ****************************** 1. DON'T put "Ancestor Party" in the subject line! 2. Subject line should be your surnames in ALL CAPS with either a comma (,), dash (-) or something inbetween them to distinguish. Try not to use / as it makes the surnames run together. 3. Locations, dates etc in subject line should be in regular case. Example subject lines.... DOE, John - Waterford> NY c. 1700 DOE, DEER, SMITH, McCarthy to Australia Due to the volume of mail this party generates, the subject line is VERY IMPORTANT as many people will only read the ones of interest to them. 4. Please send ONE email with all your surnames. If you have a homepage with more info, include that. Later in the week, you might want to send another email if you have forgotten some. 5. Text of message -- please send ** just the basics** in the text. Don't tell the life story of these people, just the years, locations -- the basic facts. If anyone thinks they connect with you, they will contact you OFF LIST for more details. Don't just send a GEDCOM file. Follow the KISS procedure (Keep It Simple Sweetie) 6. Contact people OFF LIST for details. (But if you make a connection please let me know.... we always make some, our record is 4) 7. Posts get sent to [email protected] Sounds simple, but people still send posts to the "request address" instead of the correct address. Due to the large amount of emails this generates, I cannot guarantee that your email will ever get to the list if you don't send it to the correct address. 8. This is only for surnames from Ireland.... please don't send every name in your family tree. 9. Remember, mailng lists are archived. Think about what you are going to send. Use your subject line wisely and keep it simple! 10. Those of you with regular questions might want to wait til this is over to ask them, as your questions might get overlooked in all the mail. And lastly, the regular rules of the SHAMROCK list still apply. Flames etc should not ever be sent to the list. So, enjoy, and may we all "scare" up some ancestors! Remember! ** Use subject line for surnames, locations and dates ** KISS ** Posts go to [email protected] <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Maura Petzolt [email protected] <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> SHAMROCK ROOTS homepage http://community.webtv.net/shamrockroots/SHAMROCKROOTS Helpful Hints for Successful Searching http://community.webtv.net/mpetzolt2/helpfulhints
