If any one has CARTERs in Falmer Sussex England, or in Brighton Sussex and surrounds, they are very likely mine. Would love to hear from you. Lynette in Australia Lynette Begg P.O.

I don't mind if no emails come through for a week or so. I'm still joined and when someone DOES join the list or mail a message, I look out in the hope my SUSSEX connection will make a mention. My only disappointment I have with the list is most postings are for American families, and I have no interest in that. This is of course totally personal and not a reflection on the list! My ancestors came from Sussex and migrated to Australia. If neither of those are mentioned in the message, I delete it. For my opinion, the CARTER list is still valuable. It isn't that the list isn't relevant or out used its usefulness. I think it is more that people have many more alternatives these days and may not want to be a part of the email swapping format. I don't recommend cancelling the group. Just an Aussie's opinion. Lynette Begg P.O.

Questions regarding the Status of the following family discussion groups: CARTER Family Disucssion Lists HARDIN Family Discussion Lists WALLACE Family Discussion Lists These lists, when I formed them 10 years ago (in 1996) used to be very active. As of late, I rarely see any traffic and don't think there has been a message in weeks. Is it worthwhile keeping these lists active? Have they become obsolete with the advent of the web based message boards of a number of years back and should they be closed down? Even I am not as active in the day to day use & management of these family lists as I used to be. I'm asking because I need your opinion. Please don't be shy, your participation is needed. When I initially started on my journey tracing my family background, ancestors, etc, I found these lists very helpful in my endeavors. Have they out lived their usefulness?
