Hello all, I am back online and on duty as your peripatetic list administrator. I have a new career, residence, address, phone number, and life. (Actually, that's no exaggeration.) First things first. For those who record such things: Christopher Brooks 427 South St. #1 Littleton NH 03561 603-444-1537 trib@tributaries.us I have been monitoring email via a webmail account accessed infrequently at the local library. So I may have missed it, but I haven't seen any list traffic in many weeks. This might be a good time for those of you still trying to nail down a Brooks connection to re-post a query. My new employment is such that I will have a great deal more time to devote to things genealogical from this point forward. With that in mind, this is my immediate personal workplan: 1) Catch up on, analyze and share the DNA findings from the testing we did this spring. 2) Long-delayed second issue of the publication Tributaries. Foci: Founder William Brooks of Springfield, (King) Philip's War, and the new research on Thomas and Henry Brooks of Massachusetts Bay. 3) Long-overdue compilation of an index of all the material, manuscripts, correspondence, books, etc. which I have collected. The database for this was built years back, but I never had the time to enter each item so that I could ascertain what I had, and where it was stored, nor did I have space to get everything unpacked, inventoried and accessible. Now I do. 4) Long-overdue upload of generations 3-4 of the Henry and Capt. Thomas Brooks lines to the Tributaries website. (As a stopgap, within a few days I should be doing a "maintenance" upload, meaning new data for the same individuals who were already there, plus addition of some additional individuals. I'll post to announce when this happens.) I will now be able to work uninterrupted for hours at a stretch for days in a row, so I'm hoping to stay on task and get these major needs out of the way before I get distracted again, as is my predilection. Slap my hand if you see me begin to stray gain. :-) Chris Christopher Brooks, List Administrator: ============================================ BROOKS-NE-L (Brooks Families of New England) at RootsWeb.com ============================================
