Subject: CAPITALIZATION OF NAMES
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 1997 00:49:12 -0400 (EDT)


Fellow Genealogy Researchers:

Since so many of us are using state genealogy BB's and other county based
BB's, it can take quite awhile each day to review all the messages received.
When a lot of names are listed in a dense paragraph without the family name
being highlighted, I have a tendency to skim through the message and perhaps
miss some applicable family names. Maybe others do the same, so please
capitalize family names and help us all do a better job of helping each
other.

Capitalization of family names will not only help speed up our daily reading
sessions, but will no doubt help us better detect applicable family lines
that we have data on. So remember, type the FAMILY NAMES IN ALL CAPS in our
help messages.

Thanks.
