You have a few days to get ready for another roll call starting on January 1. If you are a newbie and don't know what this is - there are two ways to do this:

1) list the family names you are researching along with the villages where they come from and dates, too if you can give them.
2) list your village name in the subject line and then add the names of your relatives in the body of the text, but please also give other data like dates.

Why the second way? The search engines will pick this up and then if you put a village name (say Rysum) into google.com or another search engine - your message should show up! It's a great way to find others searching the same names and villages.

The way you post is your choice. But, of course, no one will help you if you choose not to put your names into the roll call! And please let us know if you find someone through posting your roll call! We love success stories, too.

Don't you have a brick wall? Wouldn't you like to solve one of your long standing mysteries? Get moving now!
We need EACH of you to post at least one thing in the month of January! :-)

If you have a question on how to post, please don't be afraid to ask privately.

Frohe Weihnachten to all of you - our genealogy family! And, of course wishes for a wonderful, blessed New Year!
Enjoy your family time :-) It's a great time to tape record some of those family stories.
