Hi everyone, The new version of this list is now available online at http://www.vivdunstan.clara.net/genuki/BEW/Surnames/ The list is also linked in from the relevant sections in the usual web resources, e.g. GENUKI (http://www.genuki.org.uk), BritishIslesGenWeb (http://www.britishislesgenweb.org), Cyndi's List (http://www.cyndislist.com) etc. In GENUKI the surname lists can be found from the appropriate county sections, or from a master listing at http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/SurnamesLists.html New submissions to the Berwickshire list would be very welcome but can I ask people to please read the list guidelines carefully before sending in their surnames to me? Different surname lists have their own ways of coding information and my lists (for the Scottish counties of BEW,ROX,SEL and ELN) are surname lists only and do not carry any first name details. They are intended to summarise very concisely people's family research interests. Please read the guidelines and send in any entries in the correct format. That way your surnames will be added in much more quickly. Since my message of a week ago I have been contacting people who already had entries in the Berwickshire Surnames List, checking that their contact details worked and that their entries were up-to-date. With some of the people I have been unable to contact them (email messages to the addresses in the long-frozen list pages bounced) and for those people I have had to remove their surname entries from the online list pages. If anyone reading this has submitted entries in the past but their entries are not in the new version of the list pages, please email me with your new contact details so that I can add your surnames back in again to the list. One final point: it will take me quite some time to add in new surname entries to the list. Please be patient if you email me with your entries. I will get back to you as soon as I can, but it will not be immediate, indeed it may be some days before I can respond to you. If your entries are in (or near to) the correct format then when I will reply I will be able say they are added in; if not I may need to write back with a query, so again do please read the instructions about entry formats carefully. Many thanks! Viv Dunstan Fife, Scotland http://www.vivdunstan.clara.net/
