Hi Charlie One of the best things about putting the surnames in the subject line is that anyone coming along, months even years later to search the eng-Shropshire archives will see the surname almost immediately, whereas if it is hidden inside the email they will not and will simply by-pass the message/s. Now that I have changed the heading anyone coming along with Weaver connections with see that and will go back to 'Shropshire Ancestors' messages. You just never know, one day a fourth cousin or some such may come along searching the archives for that surname and jump for joy when they see your email address. Good fortune. Graham Melbourne Oz
