Hi Dennis Rather difficult to check the archives for a post that hadn't been sent at that time though :-) In all cases for a gatewayed post, it is always best to check the board from whence it came If by the OP you mean the board poster, they may be blissfully unaware of the existence of the lists Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >>As the post that you replied to was a gatewayed one, your reply will not >>be >>seen by them if they don't also subscribe to the list (most don't) >> >>You need to click the blue link which takes you to the board where it was >>posted originally, reply there and in turn your reply will be gatewayed >>back >>to the list so you only need post once > > Or (my preference) the original poster should check > http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-YORKSHIRE.html for > additional replies. > > -- > > Dennis Kowallek

Hello all, Following a successful trip into Lancashire (!) a couple of weeks ago, I am going down south, on Sunday 22nd November, to the Milton Keynes Family History Show. This is at Bletchley Park - yes, the one that is famous for Winston Churchill's "Enigma" code breakers - 10.30am to 4pm. Details are on: http://www.centralexhibitions.co.uk/8.html Dr. Nick Barratt, from BBC TV's "Who Do You Think You Are" will be speaking, on "House History" and "Family History and the Media," at 12 midday and 2pm respectively. Dr. Bruce Durie of Strathclyde University, Glasgow will be speaking at 1pm about researching Family History in Scotland, "Not All Clans and Tartans" There will also be talks on Bletchley Park itself in the library and a guided tour. Refreshments will be available from the cafeteria, next door to the mansion house. It's easy to find, as it is right opposite to Bletchley rail station. Regards, Janice Wood

"Posts to this board are copied to the "ENG-YORKSHIRE-L" RootsWeb.com mailing list." ... in very small print. I think ancestry/rootsweb should do something to make board posters *more* aware of this. Maybe, for gatewayed boards, a pop-up the user needs to confirm before the post goes thru. Or better yet, a method to send gatewayed replies back to the board. >The system is simple, if its a gatewayed post (which is clearly signaled as >such) the list poster should click the blue link and reply there Since not everyone will follow the "system", I would recommend that the person asking for information/help take it upon themselves to look for replies wherever they might appear. *** Since this is not really Yorkshire related, I will now bow out of this discussion. -- Dennis Kowallek Cincinnati, Ohio [email protected] ******************

As a Yorkshire lass, golden syrup was referred to as "treacle" in our house - wasn't til I moved south I found that treacle is the black stuff! Lesley E-mail message checked by Spyware Doctor (6.1.0.448) Database version: 6.13710 http://www.pctools.com/uk/spyware-doctor-antivirus/

Hi Nancy Although the following hints otherwise, in my experience Treacle is the dark black stuff and Syrup is the lighter coloured stuff (as in Golden Syrup) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treacle I have never heard dark Treacle called Syrup in this Country Treacle was used for cooking and syrup was a tad more refined and used to pour over puds such as pancakes on shrove Tuesday(with the exception of steamed pudding which was made with golden syrup) I am now thoroughly hungry having thought of my mothers steam puds Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) >I can remember my Gran talking about treacle, but I honestly don't know >what that is.
