Good news, the new ATKINSON-UK mailing list is ready to roll! Please help spread the word. In case you missed this discussion topic, the decision was made to create an additional but separate (Rootsweb) discussion list specifically for those with an interest in the surname ATKINSON in the United Kingdom. The ATKINSON-UK mailing list is for the discussion and sharing of information regarding family history and genealogy for the ATKINSON surname and all variations, such as ADKINSON, in the United Kingdom. Please follow the subscription instructions carefully! INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBSCRIBING: To subscribe to the list in mail mode (sends every e-mail message to you individually as they are sent to the list), send a message to ATKINSON-UK-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word subscribe and nothing else. If you prefer digest mode (sends one large e-mail archive containing every e-mail message sent to the list during the past 12 hours), send the subscribe message instead to ATKINSON-UK-D-request@rootsweb.com. INSTRUCTIONS FOR POSTING: To post to both ATKINSON-UK-L and ATKINSON-UK-D, messages should be sent to ATKINSON-UK-L@rootsweb.com. Messages sent there will appear both places. Nancy
