Mailing Lists

Mailing lists are a great tool for researchers to connect with other researchers who share a common interest. To receive and post messages via email, you must be subscribed to the list. Normally subscribers to a list receive an email every time someone posts, but some lists have digest versions, which allow you to receive one email with several posts in it.

The following lists may be of interest to Carroll County researchers. The following links will take you to another site which will have a list description and instructions for subscribing.

Roll Call

On the Carroll Co. mailing list there was a Roll Call.  Our Roll Call page has a list of surnames that are being researched. 

Family Outlines Project

We have a few family outlines here on our Family Outlines page.  If you would like to submit your family outline to be put online, please email me at Colleen.Frank@comcast.net. These can be as plain or as elaborate as you care to get.  I am more than willing to put photos with your outline.
