Hi All I have recently rejoined the List after an absence of several years to continue with my FOD research. Following a very helpful response to a recent enquiry re a missing Beach/Howell family from Freddy, I would like to offer a suggestion which may or may not have merit - feedback from the List would be good. I myself specialise in EDWARDS research in the FOD and in addition to a significant number of transcripts of Edwards parish records for baptisms, births, marriages, burials and deaths, I hold Edwards extracts from the 1851-1891 census records, and details of over 120 other Edwards researchers around the world (though not all from FOD). I know of another lady who specialises in HALE research. I have no doubt that most of us have accumulated a significant amount of information on their chosen subject - be it SURNAMES, CHURCHES, SPECIFIC FOD TOWNS, PARISHES whatever. It was only by accident that I discovered Freddy had BEACH research and he has been most helpful in providing me with new information. And until I rejoined the list no one would have known of my specific Edwards interest. Would anyone be interested in posting our collective specialist areas on a web site as lookup offers or does something already exist out there specific to the FOD?. It could be argued that this is the purpose of the List of course. I know I would be willing to provide Edwards lookups (and am helping someone at the moment) as this would also assist in identifying a possible connection to my own lines. I would be more than happy to maintain the site as I administered the Renfrewshire Surnames List for nearly 2 years, only putting it up for adoption earlier this year. Open discussion would be most welcome. I have some thoughts in relation to the site but would like feedback first. Most importantly I do not want to reinvent the wheel so if something of this nature already exists, please let me know about. Regards Chris O'Sullivan Picton, NSW (100km sw of Sydney)
