Charani, A warm welcome to the Surrey List. You'll find us a well-behaved lot (well, most of the time, at least). Rod. -----Original Message----- From: Charani <charani.b@gmail.com> To: eng-surrey@rootsweb.com Sent: Sun, 14 Oct 2012 13:23 Subject: [SRY] Taking the reins My thanks to Ann for her care of the list in the past and also for handing the Admin reins over to me. Some of you already know me; for some of you, I'm an unknown quantity. For those who don't already know: I'm a Londoner and I've been researching for nearly half a century (and that's a scary thought!). I have family connections in almost every county in England plus some in Wales, Scotland, Ireland, several European countries as well as North and South America and Australasia. At last count there were 10 different religions, faiths and denominations within the family. I admin a number of county, area and surname lists. I don't bite, at least not often :))

What does it mean when you say "the List will be handed back to Rootsweb"? Does it mean it will cease to exist, or messages will not be monitored? Thank you for your work over the years.

Everyone Thank you all for your very kind messages which are both humbling and very much appreciated. The huge number of messages received both here, and privately, makes it difficult to thank everyone in person although I am endeavouring to do so privately - albeit rather slowly, for which apologies. *In fairness to the new List Admin, time now to move on, I think.* Best wishes. Ann

Ann I read this news with sadness, as I know how much you enjoyed your work with the lists, even though the your responsibilities were relentless in so many ways. The behind the scenes work of the administrator keeps the list working effectively. I hope that you enjoy whatever you do in the future and know that so many of us have benefitted from your support and assistance. The administration of such a list is both complex and constant and your work has helped all members and is much appreciated. Best wishes and thanks, Libby ______________________________ E K McMillan

Ann A big thank you for you for all your brilliant work in administering this list. Hopefully I'll see you at Surrey History Centre sometime. Jill Hyams

Dear Ann. Thank you so much for your patience, knowledge and information you have freely imparted over the years. You will be a hard act to follow. All good wishes. Joyce

I don't know you, Ann, but I'm going to miss you. The kind of list a list is, depends so much on who administers it. The kind of people who want to be on your list are also dependent on who the administrator is. I know, lots of redundancy here, But I've learned so much about my UK family from the very kind souls here (you know who you are!), that I can never repay the generosity of my Surrey friends. Hope you have a wonderful post-list existence :-), and to see many "guest" appearances!
