Many, many thanks to all of you out there that offered me advice on the above subject! I have chosen to use MyFamily.com to start with (at least till I become a bit more experienced!). Later I might try my hand at creating my own site independently - we will see how it goes. Anyone with interest in the names that I am researching, is more than welcome to email me and request access privileges. Thanks once again to all you kind people out there Kindest regards SEONAID LEWIS (nee Harvey) ------------ Researching: HARVEY (Kent, England; Newfoundland, Canada; Ireland), POTTLE, (Newfoundland), STEVENS (Kent), BOOTHER (London, Kent - England), SULLIVAN (Kent, England; Cork, Ireland) WARD (London, Kent - England), LITTLE (Edinburgh, Kilmarnock - Scotland) , MCKENZIE (Aberdeen - Scotland), DUNCAN (Edinburgh, Fife - Scotland), SWANSON (Aberdeen, Caithness - Scotland), DONALD (Aberdeen, Caithness - Scotland), LEWIS (Caernarvon, Gwynedd - Wales, London - England) JONES (Gwynedd - Wales) FIPKIN (London - England)
