This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Aa.2ADI/740.1 Message Board Post: Ooooops - I forgot, as soon as I posted this in Boards>Localities>North America>United States>Georgia>Counties>Banks it would also appear in the Mailing List for the Surnames>Banks mailing list - silly me. So, to put the record straight, the former seems to be for any surname in the county of Banks in Georgia and the latter is a worldwide Message Board for the surname Banks. The admin people at Rootsweb have confirmed that there is a 'crossed wire' and they will correct the situation soon. So then I can get back to being a Banks and the population of Banks County won't have to change their surname :) David Banks
