Hi Pauline & all, Just to say I'm still here - but being a bit quiet as I seem to have developed aches and pains in my right arm - possibly from too much keyboard work!! So I am trying not to do too much at the moment - just short bursts. I don't want it to become a chronic condition - I did have a bit of a problem some years ago when I was working from home , and found a bit of "resting up" did the trick. So If I see a query I can answer easily I do - but otherwise I am rationing things to completing the indexing. Will be back chatting soon. Pat In message <006a01c5c731$5c581ad0$6602a8c0@carmarthen>, Pauline James <paulinejames@onvol.net> writes >Hi Bernard > >Yes, you are correct, it is nowhere near as busy, I have tried a few times >to 'wake' people up, but no-one seems to respond anymore......do not know >why... > >Pauline -- Pat Powell

OOPS!! Sorry forgot to put my name on last email. Its Jackie from Devon.

Hi List, As the list is quiet, may I ask a favour? I have my ancestor on 1851 census in the Hamlet of Llechfraeth, Llanegwad HO 107/2471/12/229 Entry 41 Tanlan. Amy Lewis head widow, aged 55 pauper born Mydrim. Catherine Lewis dau.10 born Llanegwad. Mary dau. 6 Would anyone have access to 1861 for this family? Thank you for your time.

Hi Rhodri See, you are a member and a subscriber, as I stated in my last email, I do not think that anyone is missing out, if a question is not asked we cannot answer them, as most members are subscribers of this list too.... It has gone very quiet here, and hopefully with a 'wake up' call subscribers may get going again. It does not have to be a query 'where is so and so' but just conversation about family history, where do we go to find information that is on line etc....... This used to be a very busy list, but it has gone quiet and I'd like to see it 'perk' up a bit. Anyone out there have any questions then, or stories to tell us, anything at all.. With the online information, I have through a member, who is a member of genes reunited found my mothers cousin who she thought was no longer, sadly my mother is not here to share in my joy, but it is wonderful that we have found him and his family. The internet has really changed the way we live... Thanks for listening, so, lets get going again!!

Hi Adrian If you have a query you do not have to be a member of CFHS, as you and I know you have been a subscriber for a long time, you can just ask your question and if I or anyone else have an answer for you, will answer you, that is what this list is for. The members list as you say is for members only, but I must say that most of CFHS members are subscribers to this list too, only a small majority are not. On the members list we have 'fun' as some people get offended if they see a recipe on a subscriber list, whereas on the members only we can help each other in any way we wish, we are a friendly bunch and quite a few of us have made contact this year. After years of running these lists I made contact with a cousin this year.....our great grandmothers were sisters, so I was very pleased about that... I think we are one of the very few Societies that members can just click on their button and there is help at hand.....as you know we are solely on the internet nothing else. This year we have on-line indexes which everyone thinks is great as they can now search all our indexes online themselves....members got together this year and 1841 census for Carmarthenshire is near completion after just a couple of months transcribing, its been brilliant!!!. 1851 was completed this year too.... So don't feel that you are missing out, just ask a question and we'll see if we can answer it. As one lister stated today this list is nowhere near as busy as it used to be, but if people do not ask questions there will be no traffic on these lists....

Dear Richard Maybe the reason why the Dyfed Mailing List does not appear to get as many enquiries as the Carmarthenshire ones is that most research enquirers find their way to the Lookup Exchange which is accessed via the link on Gareth's Help Page _http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html_ (http://home.clara.net/tirbach/hicks.html) There, under the various Hundreds, you will find the name of people prepared to do lookups in the Hundreds in which they specialise. Using various indexes they are in one to one contact with the enquirer and do not come through the Mailing List. Pembrokeshire does not have the vast range of indexes that you and Pauline have worked on over the past 20 years or so but the volunteers do provide as much information as they can backed by local knowledge. However, of late, more and more enquiries seem to come on the the Mailing List and I do not know what percentage are dealt with direct. I believe that Pat Powell is one of the volunteers - a very knowledgeable, busy and involved lady! As regards Ancestry being able to provide all the answers I think it will be a sad day when researchers no longer look at the original documents. Admittedly it will save wear and tear on a valuable source but often the contents there can tell us so much more than a mere index. As a researcher for over 35 years I find it sad that people can look at a census index, order and order a copy of the entry online without any of the thrill of finding a person after hours of trawling that did give you some feeling of the area in which they lived and the people who would have been their friends and neighbours. Just amassing a collection of dates and places is not my idea of family history but then I'm one of the old fashioned kind! Bye for now Joy Bye for now Joy

Hello Pat, I couldn't help notice you are indexing Llanboidy 1841. Thank you. Pauline had helped me earlier in the year with locating my 2nd great grandfather Edward Thomas's adopted family in Llanboidy in 1851. Store house Llanboidy Catherine Phillips pauper, coopers widow 56yrs Thomas Phillips 12yrs Sophia Phillips 7yrs Edward Thomas 12yrs Illegit. Son Born Wiston I'm wondering if it would not be too much trouble to ask if you could check for them in 1841 Llanboidy census Thomas Phillips cooper Catherine Phillips Wife 46yrs born Mydrim Thomas Phillips Son 2yrs Llanboidy Edward Thomas illegitamate child born Wiston 2yrs Thank you for all you do. Please it's not a rush, give your arm a rest. Anita Fennerty

Richard I agree with you and think that the Ancestry site has diminished the posting on Rootsweb lists over the last two years. For me Ancestry was the second big breakthrough after finding the Carms FHS list and probably like a lot of other interested parties have now worked out most of my forebears back to individuals born in the late 1700s and very early 1800s. The next 'big breakthrough' will be the digitisation of all parish records and bishops transcripts for BDMs and the completion of the indexing and digitisation of the government BDM records. It doesn't take much imagination to realise that at some stage in the future it will merely be a database enquiry to complete what was a 10 to 15 year slog in a few hours or less: I admit this is an over simplification but a pointer to the direction in which things are moving. The lists that did have a lot of activity usually had much banter on other things of 'Welsh' interest and this has been reduced by certain administrators; I feel that the general type postings could be the saviour of Rootsweb lists and bring back the community spirit. Some of the one name lists I belong to MIGHT have one posting a year! Perhaps the time has come for a small rationalisation of the Welsh county lists!

Hi Adrian I like you and probably many others, do have forebears in several counties. I found it easier to search one line at a time, therefore one county at a time, when I have completed that line [or came to a halt], I would move on to another line, to many search outlet becomes confusing, and one would tend to get lost. As you say there are three lists for Carmarthenshire research, thus generating a lot of subscribers overall, There is only so much research we, as Carmarthenshire can pass on and handle in a day, so we do concentrate more on the members list.

Richard I am somewhat surprised (although I have been aware of the situation for a long while) that there are two Carmarthenshire lists one of which is exclusively for CFHS members. I have not come across a similar situation in any other area. There must be a considerable numbers of researchers like myself whose forebears came from 10 or more counties thus making it impractical to belong to so many family history societies. By having a list exclusively for members, particularly where there is more traffic on that list than on the "open" one, must mean that many people miss out on queries/answers.
