Also, post the surnames in the message subject, or at least the most relevant/important ones. I usually skip messages with subject titles like "My surnames" or "roll call". If people have the time/info to post info about the family line(s) (names, dates, time periods, where they lived, migration, etc), that would be most helpful in seeing if there is even a chance our various family lines are related. So, are we all ready to start this? I'm game. -Mark -----Original Message----- From: Larry-Anita Avery [mailto:laavery@brinet.com] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2001 7:41 AM To: VAHALIFA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: posting your list Regarding the suggestion posted today about listing the persons or family being researched, I think it is a good idea to do it annually provided the poster provides enough information about the family to identify him/her. I delete a list of names with no further information. I have seen it done on other list and it seems useless to me. Anita ______________________________
