Thanks Whoever lrainey@ix.netcom.com is, he/she needs to set up his/her email program with a name to replace "enter your name here". Next, I assume you are a "newbie" (someone who has just started using these Mailing Lists). The SURNAME-QUERY Mailing LIst is ONLY for discussing SURNAMEs. I know you weren't aware of the topics that could be discussed here, BUT all the guidelines WERE included in the Welcome Message you received upon subscribing. If you still have it (didn't just delete it immediately upon receipt), please read through it. Those of you who answered "enter your name here", please do not respond to off-topic posts here on the SURNAME-QUERY Mailing List. There is a fine Mailing List (I started it and turned it over to someone else), called RESEARCH-HOWTO at RootsWeb. It is SPECIFICALLY for this type of discussion. The original poster didn't know any better, so I'm not aiming this at him/her. The rest of you should know better. Including the original, I just downloaded 8 emails with the subject of "Census". Please watch what you post. I normally don't say anything if it involves 2 or 3 messages, but I don't want a "thread" to get started here on another off-topic subject. Thanks, SgtGeorge George W.
