[MR] Kingdom Backlog of scrolls

[Kevin and Lora]

Greetings All!
One of the projects that the Hidden Mountain Scribes Guild has been 
working on is eliminating the scrolls from the kingdom backlog that are 
for members of Hidden Mountain.  It is our plan to start with our own 
members to help clean up the backlog.  This is an ongoing process and in 
the course of researching scrolls for members of Hidden Mountain I have 
noticed something that would only take a few minutes of your time but 
could help the clerk signet quite a bit.

Did you know that there are 3531 scrolls which are listed as UNKNOWN in 
the database.  That means that you could have the scroll hanging on your 
wall or in a box under your bed but the clerk signet's office doesn't 
know about it.  Therefore, the clerk signet has to keep up with all that 
information.

Here is how you can help...
Go to the database for the Kingdom backlog and look up YOUR name.   The 
database is located here:
http://scribe.atlantia.sca.org/backlog/

There is a little orange flag which says "Unknown".  Click on "view" 
next to the orange flag.   The alphabet in the middle of the page will 
show you the "unknown" backlog.  Just select the letter corresponding to 
the first letter of your sca name and check to see if any awards are 
listed.  If you see your name, let the clerk signet know if you have 
received the scroll or not.  You can contact the clerk signet at:

signet at atlantia.sca.org

If you hold the title Duke, Duchess, Count, Countess, Baron, Baroness, 
Mistress, Master, Sir...you are LIKELY to have awards listed here.  If 
you moved in from out of Kingdom, you are also likely to have awards 
listed here.  Please take a minute to check your own name in the 
database.  If you haven't received your scroll, moving the information 
from "Unknown" to "Ready to Assign" would greatly increase your chances 
of getting a scroll in the future.

If you have a little extra time, check out the Hold for Heraldry section 
and make sure that you aren't listed there as well.  Names and devices 
get registered often well after an award is given out.  It is difficult 
to keep up with checking on the status of heraldry or name 
registration.  If you had your name and device passed after your 
received any kingdom award, your scroll may be in limbo.

Thank you
