Thought this might come in handy, if you are needing a census look-up
from another State. This was on the MODOUGLAS-L list today. =20
=20
PLEASE FORWARD TO YOUR LISTS AND FRIENDS ;)=20
Hello Everyone !=20
I have had to reword and rework the guidelines for the CENSUS-LOOKUP
mailing lists and also include subscription instructions.=20
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.=20
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.=20
Some of the state lists have already reached over 150 subscribers <G>
Others have not been "advertised" as much and have fewer members.=20
Hang in there and don't get discouraged if you're 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.=20
I am encouraging everyone to send this email to their surname and county
mailing lists as well as to our cousins.=20
Finally, if you have the material to help a fellow researcher, please
use it.
=20
Thanks, Kelly
=20
(Subscription information at the end of this e-mail) PLEASE READ ENTIRE
EMAIL!!!=20

Guidelines for posting to the lists:
Established 11 October 2000=20
EMAIL SUBJECT LINES:
COUNTY,YEAR,SURNAME=20
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.=20
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 to
supply as much info as possible.=20
LIMIT your requests to ONE PER CENSUS YEAR and SURNAME=20
My Mama taught me that 'Thank you' and 'Please' are always nice too :)=20
A few people have emailed me asking how to sign up for the new lists and
what to do.=20

you are looking in added in its place.=20
