Please, let's make it a practice to put the oldest ancestor's name in the
subject line with a date or time frame and a state, region, or country.

I am on more than a dozen family lists and it is difficult to read thru
dozens of postings daily to find whether there is the remotest chance of
finding information. It really helps me to not have to open and read every
post on every list.

Also please put dates and location, estimate if you have no dates on
information you do send. We can't help each other much without minimal
information: Dates, locations. Inclusion of colateral families is very
helpful for clues so include that when you know it.

Thanks for listening
Tom, buried in genealogy postings each day
