Lists ... the message below was posted to the list by Malcolm Hills. I have sent him a message requesting that he does not post messages such as this to the list without first contacting me a gaining my approval, as yet I have not had a reply. This site of Mr Hills is proving to be rather controversial and I am aware of other list administrators who have contacted Mr Hills regarding his postings to Rootsweb lists and have had extremely rude responses. I URGE subscribers to the list to consider their options carefully in relation to anything they may propose to do with Mr Hills site.

The site currently has in excess of 33000 names listed from nearly 6000 contributors and is growing daily. Advantages of this Surnames Listing site over other Surname Listing Sites: 1. All updates are live - no waiting for the site administrator to get round to updating it. 2. Contributors are able to completely manage their own entries. 3. The Whole of the UK on one site - no need to manage entries on multiple lists, it is all in one place and easily grouped by county and region. 4. All email addresses are hidden.

Please note that part of the site facilities are only available to subscribers, however ALL The County Surname Lists are available and fully functional FREE OF Charge. The additional features available to subscribers are enhanced search and ease of use facilities, and the primary purpose is to help finance the site whilst still offering the full functionality of the site to remain free for all - This is the case now and will always remain so - IT IS NOT MY INTENTION TO EVER REMOVE THE FREE DATABASES either for contributors, or browsers.
