Hi Christi, I am a new subscriber this week and picked up this list from "Genealogy Resources on the Internet" http://members.aol.com/gfsjohnf/gen_mail_surnames-ba.html This currently shows this list as covering:- BARTON (includes Barten, Bartin, Bartinn, Borton, Barden, Burton, Banton, Baston, Bastin) So I wonder if this is the root cause of the problem? I have interests in both BARTON and BURTON and was just about to post these when your apparently telepathic message arrived!
