regarding Murray Twp., Northumberland County, Ontario, Canada.

****GUIDELINES**** * Small gedcom files are discouraged but not banned from the list (send in a message, NOT as a file attachment) as long as the resulting message is no larger than 61440 bytes maximum.* 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 judgement. Quoting the previous writer's signature block or surname list is totally unnecessary. * Surname lists are okay but please try to limit them to say, half a dozen names. Any more than that and many people just won't read them. Try keeping several small lists and rotate them with each succeeding message. ****SUBSCRIPTIONS**** Simply click on one of the lines below and send the resulting message. Do not add anything to the message. Everything is filled in for you. If you have a problem with the automatic message delete the&body=subscribe at the end of the url and put in the body of the message subscribe and nothing else. * Subscription commands go to Subscribe Single messages -or- Subscribe Digest messages To unsubscribe click on the line below and send the resulting message.

* To post a message (query, reply or other data) to the list, send it to ****TIPS**** * 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 I do 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 "You name" just doesn't cut it. * 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, perhaps once a month, if you have not yet found 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. Other members may benefit from the data that you provide. FURTHER INFORMATION See the following URLs for information on Genealogy lists:General Maillist
