> PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR LISTS AND FRIENDS ;)
> Hello Everyone ! I have had to reword and rework the guidelines for the
> CENSUS-LOOKUP mailing lists and also include subscription instructions. I
am
> sending these below. The lists have been growing like crazy since I
created
> them three days ago and I expect the growth to continue as the word
spreads.
> Please feel free to forward this to anyone you feel may be interested in
> joining. Of course the more people we have the more help we will be for
each
> other. Please keep in mind that we are only a few days old and if your
> lookup request is not answered, try again in a week or two. Some of the
> state lists have already reached over 150 subscribers <G> Others have not
> been "advertised" as much and have fewer members. Hang in there and don't
> get discouraged if your not answered right away, these lists will be a
great
> asset to our research after we reach the people and let them know that
these
> lists are available. 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,
Kelly

wants
