Accuracy is important and sources are vital. Ancestor lists are worthless
if the information is wrong.

All information need not be accompanied by source citations, but it is recommend
strongly that posts either include sources or a note stating that they
are available on request.  If information is speculation then label it
as such until it is proven or commonly accepted as fact.

When posting your query try to give as much information as you know, i.e. dates and
places of all vital events if known, along with enough other family members so that
the reader can positively identify if they are researching the same family.
"Anyone out there researching SMITHs?" is way too broad and most likely
won't get you any results.

When posting your query it is helpful to make the message as readable as possible.
One paragraph, a page long, full of names and dates, is too difficult to decipher
and most people won't bother to take the time to do so.

Write surnames in CAPITAL letters. They are much easier to read and are the
generally accepted way to write surnames.

Avoid writing your entire message in capital letters. It is very difficult to read
and is also considered "shouting."

When replying to the list (this also can apply to private replies) try to quote some
portions of the previous message so that other readers are reminded what the "thread"
is about. Make it clear what is quoted material and what you are adding. Most mail
readers take care of this for you by inserting greater-than signs ">" at the beginning
of each quoted line or possibly double brackets "<<" before and ">>" after the
quoted piece.

Use standard Windows procedures to "cut" unnecessary material.

Post your query frequently if you have not yet found the information you are
seeking regarding your ancestor. New people are joining the list all the time
and they may have the info you need.

Please send replies to the list, not just to the original poster if you think
that other members may benefit from the data that you provide.

Try to keep quoting to a minimum. "Quoting" is repeating text of the message
you are replying to. Some quoting is necessary to remind other readers what
the thread is about but do try to use good judgment. Quoting the previous
writer's signature block or surname list is totally unnecessary.

Sending a list of the Surnames you are searching is okay but please try to limit
them to one or two names at a time. Any more than that and many people just
won't read them. Try keeping several small lists and rotate them with each
succeeding message. By all means do not put "roll call" as the sole subject line. List
the surnames themselves in the subject line. It is also helpful to list the
time frame.
