One request at a time - as opposed to multiple, requests. If one makes a
lookup request for three census years in a single email, they are really
asking for three lookups instead of one, which usually takes three times as
much time for a volunteer to accomplish.

Below is a cut & paste from the welcome letter that is delivered
automatically by the list server upon subscription - it's in the line that
begins "Limit your requests". All the lookup list guidelines contain a
similar rule, but Maureen is the one list mom who seems to care most for her
volunteers and is the reason I, for one, am here to help.

============================================================

Guidelines for posting to the lists:
EMAIL SUBJECT LINES:

COUNTY/YEAR/SURNAME

NO FLAMING or you will be unsubbed without notice. By this I mean not only
being rude or mean to each other but there will be NO and I do mean NO
debating here about the Census Projects. This list is for everyone who wants
to research.

NO General requests such as "all Smiths in all counties" Be specific,
Name the County,
Family you are looking for and also
the year.

Try and supply as much info as possible.

LIMIT your requests to ONE PER CENSUS YEAR and SURNAME, PER DAY !!!!!!

My Mama taught me that Thank you and Please are always nice too :)

MOST IMPORTANTLY Hang in there and don't get discouraged if your not
answered right away, these lists will be a great asset to our research as
they continue to grow. I am encouraging everyone to send this email to their
surname and county mailing lists as well as to our cousins.

Finally, If you have the material to help a fellow researcher, please use
it.

Thanks, Maureen
