Hi again Nothing has changed regarding the lists of late Thats not to say you may have inadvertantly pressed the wrong button somewhere along the line but suspect not My advice would be to still check the archives to satisfy yourself you have not missed any Whilst you are there I would also suggest trying your names / places of interest in the upper search box There are over 30,000 different lists and you never know which if any, one of your potential unknown relatives may have posted to The search will check all archives across all lists at the same time Generally a good exercise to do periodically , especially when the lists are slow perhaps :-) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Thanks Nivard for the advice.

Thanks Nivard for the advice. However I've looked at all possible self-imposed blockages, but wonder that having received in answer to my question three immediate replies, my "line" must be open, just a little bit unpopulated. The encouraging bit is the immediacy of the replies. Would you agree that things are now normal if a bit haphazard? If not I will follow your advice.

Hi Alistair Frankly most lists are very quiet if not dormant :-( But in all cases its a simple matter to see if you have missed anything or the subscribers have nodded off <g> Check the archives http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Select Mailing lists from the top bar menu Enter the list name in the lower box and select the list in question, scroll down and browse the archives , select the latest month and you can see at a glance if you have seen the posts or not Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Guidance please - > I've probably pressed the wrong button, but from regular inbox receipts of around 4 or 5 a day, > for the last week I have received none at all.

Guidance please - I've probably pressed the wrong button, but from regular inbox receipts of around 4 or 5 a day, for the last week I have received none at all. Literally nothing related to genealogy of any description. Alistair Macdonald

Dear Alistair & Nivard, I read your comments, and just wanted to let you know that A.) I am a subscriber; B.) I have read all of the correspondence for several years now: C.) Have enjoyed your dialog, and knowledge; D.) I am a NOVICE at chasing Ghosts; & C.) I reside in the USA and am pretty clumsy and manipulating resources beyond Ancestry so haven't been successful at gathering data from the UK. I sit on the sidelines and read everything to learn. So reading your comments, I sense that the two of you need a project because you are bored! Just so you don't stop helping folks who come to this site & if you want to give someone in the Colonies a boost, how about seeing how far you can get chasing my GGG Grandfather, William Symon, born Angus, 1810,Montrose. Father was the shoemaker on High St. I have traced William, a ships carpenter, to Liverpool, where he married, and then in the early 1850's emigrated to Ontario where he died in 1899. I have found a listing of his parents and his siblings but I have never been able to trace his parents and his siblings... So, if you take on a challenge and stress the limits of the Angus resources maybe you could chase Williams parents and sibling? I would appreciate any help that I can get!!! And it might fill up some of the time till folks get their fall chores done and come back inside to their computers when the weather turns wintery!
