I thought I would forward this which I received from one of my other lists in
case it is of some use to someone in this group.

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


(Subscription information at the end of this e-mail)

Guidelines for posting to the lists:
Established 11 October 2000

EMAIL SUBJECT LINES:
COUNTY,YEAR,SURNAME

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.

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.

LIMIT your requests to ONE PER CENSUS YEAR and SURNAME

My Mama taught me that Thank you and Please are always nice too :)



A few people have emailed me asking how to sign up for the new lists
and what to do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

1. All lists are





The XX is to be removed and the two letter abbreviation for the state
you are looking in added in its place.

Examples:








2. So, send an email to the one of your choice (make sure to have the
state). Put NOTHING in the subject line. In the body of the email
write only: subscribe

Then send it on :)

3. POSTING to the new census lists:

A. Send it to (supply the two letter
state
code for the XX again)

B: Subject line MUST have the following:
County/Year/Surname

Example: Saginaw/1850/Smith


C: In the body of the email:

List whom you are looking for.
Supply as much information as you can.
Birthplace, ages, occupation, etc.

D: Mail it on!

That's it folks :)
