Dear Listers and Subscribers, This is a very special update as it marks the Surnames List's topping the 20,000 submissions - 20,051, to be exact! This is a great occasion to thank everyone who has submitted surnames and the many who regularly send me emails telling me how helpful the YKS Surnames List has been to their research. Real words of comfort for those who never appear to have even a nibble. BTW, I apologize for being a bit late with this update, but I decided to take a 5-day-long weekend off and bask in the sun in the middle of nowhere, miles from any Internet connection! Best regards to everyone, Magdalena Gorrell Guimaraens YKS Surnames List Administrator http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/ YKSsurnames@yahoo.com With my thanks to all the other List Administrators to whom this is posted even though I am not a member of them all! .......
