>
> All posts should be on-topic: that is, specifically related to San

> Francisco history, are also welcome.
>
> All posts should be polite and civil. Arguments, unpleasant attitudes,
> foul language, etc. have no place here.
>
> For topics and threads that are more "chat-related", I suggest the
> NORCALCHAT-L list that Yvonne generously set up specifically for the
> enjoyment of those who also want to participate in friendly, chat-type
> exchanges. CASANFRA-L is meant to be more focused on specific San
> Francisco genealogy dicussions.
>
> Responses/results of lookup requests by volunteers *are* encouraged to
> be posted on the list. While some listmembers may disagree with this
> policy, it is more important for the generous lookup volunteers to be
> aware of what lookups have already been done, so that they aren't
> wasting time doing duplicate work. An additional benefit of this policy
> is that other subscribers can learn a great deal about "how" to conduct
> their own research, and about "what" resources are available and "where"
> they can be found.
>
> Some other guidelines that will help keep the CASANFRA-L list pleasant
> for all of us:
>
> Please be selective in what you post or reply to. Re-read your posts
> before you send them. Be sure they are relevant to San Francisco
> genealogy, or add something useful to a discussion about San Francisco
> genealogy that's already taking place.
>
> Personal messages such as "Thank you" or "I agree", directed to only one
> person or regarding only one specific post, should be sent privately to
> the person, *not* to the list.
>
> Please use relevant subject lines, and consider capitalizing SURNAMES.
> This will increase the chance that your message will be noticed.
>
> When replying to a message, please quote *only* the relevant section,
> not the entire message.
>
> Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Good luck with your
> research on your San Francisco ancestors, and remember to have fun!
