Dear List First my greetings to one and all for the festive season. W W (o o) \o/ (\o/) / \ Pete Brown Groby Leicestershire, UK Over the past year I have corresponded with about 30 researchers of the family name in the UK and keeping in touch with them all is difficult. I am also aware that many of them do not subscribe to this list, because it is so dominated by New World family branches. For these reasons, I have just set up a new Rootsweb List for the FARR name (and variants) in UK and Ireland, to focus the efforts of this large group of people. In time we should be able to offer a much better service to family elsewhere who are trying to trace UK origins. It is my intention to ensure that any items that deal more widely than UK/Ireland are referred on to this list, or cross-posted. I will inform this parent list of useful developments, but please contact me if you have any queries. You can subscribe to the new list in mail mode by sending a message to FARR-UK-L-request@rootsweb.com that contains the word subscribe and nothing else. If you prefer digest mode, send the command instead to FARR-UK-D-request@rootsweb.com.
