Hi, all... I have been off the list for a while for a number or reasons. One was that I am now using active SPAM fighting software and sometimes a desired address gets into the "enemies list" and strange things start to happen. The software actually bounces undesired mail - sends back a message that the email could not be delivered. As a result I was unsubscribed twice from the Caribbean-L and gave up the fight until I could find time to fix it properly. Hopefully we are at that stage now and it won't happen again!! After almost two years I have moved my daily activity from my laptop computer back to my desktop computer (laptops are not designed to operate 14 hours a day, every day) and today received the contents of two drives that had crashed. So now I have back my family tree files and am once again open to questions, data contributions and lookups on my own genealogy. You friendly folks may be happy to know that the Caribbean Surname Index continues to grow apace, and I have had several indications that it is indeed performing very well as I had hoped... one user was getting floods of email to an incorrect listing and complained. I rectified the condition immediately, but that little hiccup shows me the lists of surnames are viewed frequently and are directly useful. Since I do not get in-between the seeker and the source I have no other way of knowing how well the Index is performing other than feedback (very few people do write and tell me anything as requested). Anyway, just a short note to say that I am "back in Dodge" and still very busy (as always). I do have a backlog of things to do, so I will report as they are done. Regards, James C.
