Subject: ROOTS LOCATION LIST, July, 1995
 
Next location list on 3rd Sunday in September. (Deadlines for
submissions are generally the preceding Friday.)
 
     ## WHAT IS THE ROOTS LOCATION LIST? ##
 
- The Roots Location List is compiled from locations e-mailed to
me by network people doing genealogical research in a particular
location and who are willing to exchange information. The idea is
that, if you had ancestors living in the same place in the same
period, it might be beneficial to compare notes -- maybe you and
the submitter are kinfolk or maybe you can help each other track
down unique sources dealing with the area.
 
-This list should not be confused with the ROOTS SURNAME LIST
that is maintained by Karen Isaacson in other files.  If you are
confused, send a message to: listserv@vm1.nodak.edu    In the
body of your message put: GET FAMILY INDEX.  This will show you
all of the files in this part of the genealogy files.
 
     ## HOW CAN I PARTICIPATE IN THE ROOTS LOCATION LIST? ##
 
- Send additions or corrections to me at AHCSBB@ukcc.uky.edu.
Write to me if you have general questions about the list.  I will
acknowledge (or attempt to acknowledge) all submissions.
 
 
Entries are formatted as follows:
 
Location/Date1-Date2/nametag
Date1 is the earliest date for which the submitter has
information.
Date2 is the most recent date.
 
     ## I FOUND A LOCATION THAT I AM INTERESTED IN, HOW DO I
     CONTACT THE PERSON ON THE LIST? ##
 
- Write directly to the submitter if you would like to exchange
information.  The addresses of the submitters are available from
listserv@vm1.nodak.edu.  Just put this line in your message: GET
FAMILY LOCADDR.  Leave the subject line blank.
 
To contact the submitter of the information, use the nametag to
find the address of the submitter in the address list.
 
A list of the abbreviations used is available directly from the
listserver:  send e-mail to LISTSERV@vm1.nodak.edu or
LISTSERV@NDSUVM1, with a one-line message that states: GET FAMILY
ABBREV
 
Include no other text, and leave the subject line blank.  The
listserver will return by e-mail the list of abbreviations.  Or
you can use anonymous FTP to vm1.nodak.edu (134.129.111.1) and do
CD ROOTS-L then GET FAMILY.ABBREV to retrieve the file.
 
The list is updated the third Sunday of January, March, May,
July, September and November.
