It is up to Brenda whether she wants to make a surname page on the Forsyth Genealogy Page. I have been making a private list to know which information would be most appropriate for me to post. The main idea was to let people on the list - over 200, know you are there and what you are interested in. By posting information to the maillist, people can go back and read it and get in touch with you later, just as you can on the query page. Did you know you can search the Forsyth Mailing List Archive? <A HREF="http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl?list=GAFORSYT">RootsW eb Mailing List Search: GAFORSYT</A> This will take you to a search screen where you type in the name you are hunting and it will pull up the messages that contain that name. To read the entire message click on full after it and the whole message will show. Actually, you can search more than that. <A HREF="http://searches.rootsweb.com/#sc">RootsWeb: Search Engines</A> will let you search databases, other maillists, etc.
