Hi all Just to officially welcome newcomers to ENG-ROTHERHAM and to say that we now have 83 subscribers to the list. If you haven't posted to the list yet, please do - if you wish, you can post a brief introduction about yourself (optional) and who/what you are researching - and whatever else you'd like to share (so long as it's to do with family history/genealogy or related to Rotherham history). Please encourage new members to ENG-ROTHERHAM, the more people we can tempt into subscribing, the more chance we all have of making a connection with someone who perhaps is searching the same family name. The list is still rather quiet, so existing members might like to take the opportunity of reposting their interests so that newcomers are aware of who's searching for who/what. and don't forget these most helpful websites: ROTHERHAM FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY http://www.rotherhamfhs.f9.co.uk/ FREE BMD (a really useful site for tracing information on births/marriages/deaths already entered into the database - more information is uploaded monthly) http://freebmd.rootsweb.com Eng-Yorkshire Website: http://www.geocities.com/yshireuk/index.html Which, incidentally, is my website - and gives information particularly for those who are new to family history/genealogy. - and I'm sure there are many more which you can share with everyone in your postings. Thanks for supporting ENG-ROTHERHAM! Best wishes Tracy Listowner (email: tlh@party7.fsnet.co.uk)
