PEERY-L & PEERY.L

                    Many years ago the name Peery Family History was created for use in the
                    gathering and sharing of information on PEERY and related/allied lines. 
                    It was expanded on Sep 1, 1994, with Peery Cousins Online, a membership
                    group using e-mail on the Internet. To coordinate communications among
                    members, Peery Cousins Newsletter Online, a bi-weekly publication, was
                    begun. It was first distributed to PCO members over the Internet on
                    Jan 1, 1995. That led to a major increase in PCO membership and e-mail
                    queries. Success was gratifying and the fun hobby continued to expand.

                    On Feb 19, 1996, the Peery Family History Home Page was placed on
                    the World Wide Web.  This led to a somewhat explosive growth in PCO
                    as search engines enabled people to find the site.  Site development,
                    including adding more content, made it more informative and useful.

                    Managing all these activities mostly by me, became overwhelming as
                    growth continued.  Something had to be done to limit the demands on my
                    time.  That resulted in my creating and introducing PEERY-L (dash).  The
                    purpose was to place the increased load of incoming e-mail in a moderated,
                    but unedited mailing list, to replace the Newsletter, which required
                    extensive editing. 

                    PEERY-L (dash) was announced on the Internet in 1997.  Gradually, people
                    began to subscribe, enabling me to create a PEERY-L (dash) distribution list.
                    That is ongoing.  There never has been a broadcast of e-mail messages
                    on PEERY-L (dash), however, because of time demands in the other areas
                    mentioned.  Then volunteers came forth, offering to carry on the Newsletter
                    in the style and quality that had been established, beginning January 1, 1998.

                    On July 1, 1998, a renewed interest in activating PEERY-L (dash) was
                    triggered by new subscribers.  A new Web page for PEERY-L (dash)
                    was created, opened and linked on July 6, 1998.  It was to be gradually
                    expanded over time.   The introduction and links to related key sites were
                    the beginning.

                    On March 17, 1999, a semi-automated, moderated PEERY.L (dot) Mailing
                    List was created on ListBot, allowing for much improved maintenance and
                    handling of e-mail messages, including archives. Subscribers to PEERY-L
                    (dash) were invited to subscribe to PEERY.L (dot). ListBot requires
                    individual subscriptions to avoid anyone being placed on the list without
                    permission.

                    If you care to share information with PEERY.L (dot) subscribers, just send
                    your e-mail to PEERY.L@ListBot.com for processing. To share in the
                    exchange of information, however, you must subscribe.
