Here's how to start a new subject, topic, or thread on any list-serv or group. We will use this group as an example.
1) Go to your email client and click button for Compose or New Email or what have you. 2) In the To or Address box, put: [email protected] 3) In the Subject, put your subject, as you would any email. I do suggest trying to put the 3 key pieces in the subject, if applicable. Name, date (or range) and place. Many people are still working and scan the subject heading for their area. "Help Me" or "I'm New" or "Translate This" will miss a good chunk of the reading audience as they are busy. But you put "Silva, 1860-1880s, Sao Miguel island" and you've just made the busy people stop and look at your email. 4) In the body, put what you know, what research you've done, what you need help with, etc. Hope this helps those who are new to list-servs and groups :) Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
