> A Roll Call is launched for the BELGIAN EMIGRANTS. You can find the
posting
> instructions on this message. They are nearly the same as published on the
> site, but I've deleted obsolete info and commented some items.
>
> The target is that the subscribers of this list (and later the visitors of
> our site) are informed about who is researching what about the individuals
> who did emigrate from Belgium to an other country of destination.
>
> These data will be available on this list, through the archives of this
> list, and later through the following section of our site:
> http://belgium.rootsweb.com/migr/fam/rollcall.html
>
> As subject must be used:
> "Roll Call - Belgian Emigrants researched by [real name of the
subscriber]"
>
> Example for me:
> "Roll Call - Belgian Emigrants researched by Luc Matthijs"
>
> The Roll Call remains open for the rest of the year. If you want to update
> your data, then repost, but mention in the subject: " - update". I will
