Subject: [HACKETT-L] word of the week...Kentucky!
Date: Sun, 17 Jan 1999 20:29:19 PST


NOTE: PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE IN ITS ENTIRITY!!!

This week's word is "Kentucky" :) What this means is in your line, if
you have found any ancestors (or maybe not, but with the surname of the
list) in Kentucky, post it to the list.

FOR NEWBIES: The way the "word of the week" works is I throw out a
topic and if someone has a line that falls into that topic, then they
are *supposed* to post it, unfortunately though, I think the majority of
the lists are lurkers, so not everyone really does. (I have no problem
with lurkers by the way, they just shouldn't expect to find their info
passively, they may be lucky that way, but they need to get active on
the list to find their lines sooner). For instance, this week, if you
have any info on the surname who were in Kentucky, like described above,
post it to the list.

IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE:
To post your line, do NOT just hit "reply" to this message, because I am
not the list, just the listmaster!:) Start a clean message with the
"To" address as where "SURNAME" is the name of
the list (ex: , etc.) Also, do NOT send them to
as the "-request" address is ONLY for
subscribe and unsubscribe to the list and nothing more. Also, whenever
I try to get people posting, I tend to get a bunch of unsubscribe
commands sent to the wrong address. If you want to unsub, send the
command "unsubscribe" in the body of a new message and send it to
(or -D) and follow the same procedure for
"SURNAME" as for posting.

Good luck everyone, and please note that the CAPS and the "!!!!" above
are only for emphasis, not shouting:)
