Hello listers, I am afraid that I sometimes forget the many new subscribers who regularly joint our respective lists and who haven't got a clue as to what the Yorkshire Surnames List is and how it can help with your research in Yorkshire. The Yorkshire (YKS) Surnames List is a service that offers researchers a chance to post the surnames, and surnames only, they are looking into and others the chance to contact them directly for information. I do not do any kind of lookups myself nor do I post any messages. Go to: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/ and you will get to the YORKSHIRE Surnames Home Page. There is an alphabetical listing there and all you have to do is go to the group of letters that corresponds to the name, or names, you are interested in. You will find a list of other researchers. Click on the email address that is given and you will get a pop-up that will enable you to contact that researcher directly. It is up to each and every submitter to keep me informed of any change to his or her email addresses. Sadly, not everyone does and emails occasionally bounce. When this occurs, I double-check the situation and if there is no change, summarily delete all and any entries with the faulty email address. If you wish to post one or more surnames, please use the form that is indicated on the home page. If for some reason your server or browser does not forward the form, please follow the instructions for aol.com users - do read them carefully! You can amend, alter or delete your submissions at all times. There is no form for this. You have to contact me directly. Please remember to give me the OLD information together with the NEW as otherwise I might not be able to identify your entry. You may also wish to post your query(ies) on a genealogy list. Go to the Genuki pages to find the names of the several genealogy lists for Yorkshire. http://www.genuki.org.uk Happy hunting, Magdalena Contact email for the YKS list: YKSsurnames@yahoo.com
