Dear Listers, I received a heartfelt appeal that I wish to share with everyone who has submitted or is thinking of submitting one or more surnames. «I am very disappointed with the response I have received, or more to the point not received, from various people who have put names forward on the Yorkshire surname list. Sometimes, just in case they never received the first email, I have contacted them again but to no avail. What I don't understand is why people put names forward if they have no intention or cannot be bothered to reply to queries. Not only does this cause you unnecessary work it also destroys my confidence in the list. However, I will still continue to watch out for my name interests as there must be some kind person on the list who will acknowledge my query.» I share this person's disappointment. Believe me, I couldn't care less whether there are 200 or 20,000 surnames on this list. The most important is that the list serves as a database for other researchers. If you have submitted surnames and are no longer interested in being contacted, do let me know and I'll remove your submissions. You don't even have to list the names - just send me your email address. No problem at all. I'm sure you are all kind souls at heart. Nuff said. Below is the list of the 77 surnames that were submitted this week, following the list of persons whose entries have been deleted because their email address has bounced.
