Apologies all round - didn't check the url before sending - sorry! http://groups.msn.com/ScotsinCanada/ David. This email was scanned with Norton Anti Virus 2002.

Hi All. This concerns a 'Resource Centre' I've set up, using an MSN Community Group for the moment but with plans for a full and professional site in the not too distant future. This will be of particular interest to those among you who have Scottish Ancestors who migrated to Canada. For those that this does not apply to, sorry, but you would be welcome to have a look if interested. The site in question is "under continual construction", but may offer something extra to help you with your research. It is not, I repeat not, an alternative to your Rootsweb List. The url for site is - ScotsinCanada@groups.msn.com My apologies for duplicating what some of you may already know. Thanks, David. This email was scanned with Norton Anti Virus 2002.

Hullo Everyone. My holiday is over, I'm back into harness and looking to see a good response when I say it's time NOW for all of you to get posting. Please remember that the information you provide is archived and as such may well help some other person in their searches later on. It's good to be back. Thanks. David.

Hullo Good People, I'm just about to leave for a Holiday in Britain. During my absence, the List will be in the capable hands of my good and kind friend Christine - ccaej@sympatico.ca. Please help her to keep this List running smoothly, and I'll think of you all while I'm gone. Thanks, David. This email was scanned with Norton Anti Virus 2002.
