I am getting very frustrated with people not sending anything to the lists.
(Eller and Barringer excluded since I only started them last week, but I
don't want you to follow how the rest have been so far). I started (or in
the case of Black and Kern adopted) these lists because I wanted to help
people find connections on their lines...so far I don't think that has
happened because hardly anyone has posted anything to these lists, all i get
are people subscribing or unsubscribing. I would like in the next few weeks
to start seeing people posting their lines to the lists or I'm going to
consider dropping them (which would be a waste of $50 which is what it has
cost me to have these lists in the first place) which I REALLY don't want to
do, yet at the same time their is no point of keeping them if they do no one
any good. If you have only one person with the surname of the list, SEND
IT! Like I said before, one is better than none. I started out with only 1
person for each of these lines and for the most part I've been able to go
back to Charlemagne and his line. Everyone has to start somewhere and it
would be to your benefit to post that one person if that is all you have.
And FYI: the more information as far as dates and places, besides just the
names, but better luck you will have in getting a response to your post.
For instance, don't just put "John Bradford who married Mary
Barringer"...put "John Bradford b. Jan 20, 1812 Cabarrus Co., NC m. unknow
date to Mary Barringer who was b. 1835 Rowan Co., Nc" or something like
that. That is all for now
