You can see that I have finally found time to catch up with my email. From RootwWeb Review this week. RMS LUSITANIA. This British passenger liner, carrying a number of Americans, was torpedoed off the Irish coast during World War I by the German submarine U-20. The websites provide passenger and crew lists, facts, figures, and firsts about the ship, history, and a media gallery. http://rmslusitania.info/pages/index.html http://www.pbs.org/lostliners/lusitania.html Knames -- A Commun Probblem for Reeserchors": http://rwguide.rootsweb.com/lesson8.htm and "Do You Ear what I Ear?" by Michael John Neill: http://www.ancestry.com/dailynews/07_27_99.htm#3 ] The above articles are about some pretty far fetched spellings of various names. UK. VILLAGES. "Southern Life," created by Chris and Caroline Hayles. Gives a potted history of more than 1,900 villages in Hampshire, Dorset, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Isle of Wight, West Sussex, and Surrey with more than 2,400 photographs. Includes histories of parish churches, local famous people, and events, plus a links page, which has been divided into various categories and also includes the addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses, where applicable, of the Record offices in the UK. The website started three years ago when a subscriber to the Hampshire list asked what one village looked like and about some of its history. This website is extremely large, containing more than 2,500 pages so a good supply of coffee and a comfortable chair is needed! http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villages/ Bette ____________________________________________ Check out the Bunker Family Association. http://www.bunkerfamilyassn.org.
