Subject: [NYSUFFOL] October Roll Call
Date: Wed, 4 Oct 2000 04:11:08 EDT

Hello everyone,

October's roll call will focus on just one generation of your SUFFOLK COUNTY
family. It will be a twofold project, including data and also a bit of
'color.'

1. Select a family -- husband, wife, and children -- and give whatever
birth, marriage, or death dates and locations you may have for each one of
them. (You may submit one for each of your Suffolk County families.)

The second step is optional, but I hope you'll find it interesting.

2. Share with us what you have learned about this family. Have there been
any stories passed down through the generations? You may choose one family
member to feature, or the family in general. Has your research turned up
clues to their daily lives? How were they affected by wars, the weather, or
by the frequent and sometimes deadly epidemics? Did they live their entire
lives on the same land where their parents had lived, or did they forge ahead
on their own?

This Roll Call is for the full month of October, so take your time and post
when you're ready, but I do hope that each of you will participate. We all
collect and record the names, dates, and places for our families, but the
stories give them life!

Don't forget to replace the subject line with the head of household of the
family you choose to feature. I ask in advance for permission to place your
Family Stories on the new SUFFOLK COUNTY webpage, along with the other
accounts of early life in the county. In the happy event that you have
photographs of the persons you feature, please send them to me OFFLIST and I
will include them with your accounts.

I will leave you with a thought to ponder...a hundred years from now, what
will be the stories told about YOU? [gasp!]
