Dear fellow Botts, As I'm still at a very preliminary stage in my own research I'm afraid I don't have much info' to offer yet, but I hate to see all Debra's efforts passing by with apparently little response. (Having said that, like most people, when the "mailbag" gets very frantic I sometimes end up deleting whole blocks of messages without having had chance to read them, so forgive me if my above statement is unjustified). In my case, I'm especially interested in BOTT families in Yorkshire, UK and more specifically in the city of Sheffield. Anyone else have interests in this area? best regards to all, Andrew (born Sheffield 1954) PS Thanks for all your work in maintaining the list Debra ! ******************************************** Andrew H.
