Dear Listers, We are fast approaching 20,000 submissions - I assume that this is an expression of the usefulness of the list. In order to make it easier for you to find the name(s) you are interested in, with the help of Colin Hinson (without whom none of this would be possible) I have re-arranged the index breakdown of names. Each grouping is now much smaller than before and this should speed up your search. Take this opportunity to go to the home page and check your own submissions to make sure that all your information is correct and up-to-date. Remember, if your email bounces, your entry(ies) will be summarily deleted. There is no form for changes of any kind - you must email me directly at: YKSsurnames@yahoo.com. Please remember to send me BOTH the old and the new information, without which I cannot make any changes. Do not re-submit your name(s) if all you want to do is make a change to the date, place or your email. For newcomers to our genealogy lists: The YKS SURNAMES LIST is a free and totally voluntary service that is provided to everyone who is researching a SURNAME in Yorkshire. Please note that only surnames are accepted and only locations within Yorkshire. A surname appears as often as there is a researcher who has submitted it, which is why some names are repeated time and time again. To find or look up a name you are interested in, go to the website at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/, find the letter grouping in which your name of interest should appear and click. You will get a page of names. Scroll until you find what you are looking for. If you click on the submitter's email address, you will get a pop-up form that you can use to contact that person directly. Do note that these are NOT my surnames. They belong to other people, so please do not ask me to do any lookups. Also, please do not ask me to post a notice as this is not that kind of list. To post messages, you should go to a genealogy list. For a list of genealogy lists for Yorkshire, go to: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/. Last, but not least. If I have made some huge mistake in the face-lift process, please let me know. Goodness knows I am far from perfect - no matter how much I try! Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens YKS Surnames List Administrator With thanks to the other List Administrators who kindly post this.

Magdalena, It looks good! One suggestion I propose would be to add a link to the surname submission info on each surname page. Maybe an easy way to do that would be to just edit "Return to Main Page" to include "and Surname Submission Information." Best wishes, Lynne Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens wrote: >Last, but not least.
