I started writing and publishing a PA Flores family newsletter, Floriculture, in January of 2000. I prepared six monthly issues and sent them by mail and e-mail to the relatives on record at our MyFamily site and other listings. In the newsletter I asked for contributions, suggestions, new information, but got zero response. All it became was a report on my research on the origins of the family and discoveries of descendents of the first immigrants who arrived in Phila. in 1739. It was a lot of work with no feedback, so I decided to just prepare an e-mail version and post it on the MyFamily site. Are all family newsletters a one-person show, or is there some effective way to get contributions and responses? In other words, how do you get others involved?
