Hello Subscribers, Well it appears my lack of mail receipts is just that! A lack of subscriber mail, but it is strange that it is not only Eng-Somerset that is very quiet but all of the English lists to which I belong. Thanks for your replies and also for your geographical information. We really are spread over the earth's broad surface. So now lets see if we can have a bumper year for the list and kick down the genealogical barriers that we are all battling against. -- Regards, Tony mailto:Eng-somerset-admin@rootsweb.com in very hot Victoria Australia
