Hi Everyone A reminder that I co-ordinate a page called 'Historically Speaking' in the Ashburton Guardian which has an "Information Sought" column for those stuck on branches or looking for descendants in the Canterbury area; or for looking for information of an historical nature. The page runs now on the first and third Wednesday of each month. As from August 13 2007, we are now a morning paper, therefore the deadline for entries has had to change to the Friday before publication. A number of those who have submitted entries have had good success. If you would like to submit an entry, please contact me at reports@theguardian.co.nz While the emphasis for the page is mainly Mid Canterbury or the wider Canterbury area, we also have sections for 'Reunions/Anniversaries' and 'Book Reviews' which cover the entire country and from time to time run an "Out of Town" section for items of interest (suggestions always welcome). If you have an interesting Mid Canterbury ancestor that you would like to write about, please contact me and we can discuss details. There is no charge for any of these columns. Regards, Liz Quaid
