Okay everyone, new word: Germany, so start listing your German Kerns ancestors.

Reminders:
After last week, I have found people do not know where to send mail and such
so here are reminders

1. do NOT send messages to me that are meant for the list, send them to


2. do NOT assume that just because you send it to the Black list for
example that people will know that "George Benson" is actually "George
Benson Black" (picking these names out of the air, I don't actually have any
George Benson anything) so make sure to put the surname with the given name
because is some instances, a person's middle name alone with a first name
and no surname can look like a surname.

3. the ONLY mail you send to the -request addresses is to either subscribe
or unsubscribe. That is it. See #1 for the addresses to post messages to
the list. If you have any questions, go ahead and email me.

4. My other lists have been having problems with people unknowingly sending
email to the list with a red background and black letters and it has been
driving everyone crazy. So here is a little prevention to keep this list
from doing the same:) I've figured out the problem with color backgrounds
in email so note to all Microsoft Outlook Express (MOE) users. Your email
program (MOE) has an option of sending out mail in either html or text
format. Check your option to make sure it is set for text format. If you
prefer to keep it in html format, make sure you keep the background color
white (#ffffff) and the text color as black (#000000). If you need more
help about this, email me privately.

I believe that is it. Have a good week everyone and start your posts:) Good
luck
