Hi all Just to officially welcome newcomers to ENG-ROTHERHAM. 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 REMEMBER to make the subject line of your message reflect the content, don't be lazy and just click reply - this will only leave the current subject line on show, and your message will probably be overlooked. 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 has gone quiet again - 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)
