Those of us who live in the United States and in the United Kingdom have a tendency to assume the whole world knows about us and our areas. As a result we are often guilty of talking about events without adequately Specifying the location. While there are many far worse than the announcement Below, someone in North America could assume it meant Oxford Alabama or Oxford California and so on. I think we all need to be more sensitive the the international nature of the internet, I know I am trying to be better at it.

However, in stocktaking for the society's weekends events, I have been forced to make radical changes to the society's bookstall. This has resulted in :- 1. a lot of price-cutting, with many books now being on sale at up to half price, and 2. a significant quantity of new titles being acquired for sale, some of which are absolute gems. Any lister wanting to peruse the bookstall should visit either :- 1. "THE OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKS FAMILY HISTORY FAIR", to be held on Sunday 23 March 2003, from 10.00am to 5.00pm. 2. our society monthly meeting on Monday 24 March 2003 at 7.15pm. The subject of the talk at 8:00pm is "Using the Library of the Society of Genealogists", by Else Churchill. Both of these events will be held at the Exeter Hall, Oxford Road, Kidlington, Oxford OX5 1AB. For directions to get there, see :- http://www.ofhs.org.uk/ExeterHall.html Paul Gaskell Publicity Officer and Minutes Secretary Oxfordshire Family History Society E-mail : [email protected] Website : www.ofhs.org.uk ==== GEN-EVENTS Mailing List ==== If you have questions or problems re the GEN-EVENTS List, see: http://www.rootsweb.com/~autwgw/gencon/list.htm

Hi Alan > Those of us who live in the United States and in the United Kingdom have a tendency to assume the whole world knows about us and our areas. As a result we are often guilty of talking about events without adequately specifying the location. As the final word on this thread, I would like to apologise for not mentioning "UK" in the subject line of this post. In fact, I usually mention "UK", but last night's message was meant to be a reminder to our local lists about this weekend's events. Unfortunately, I must have had a twitchy finger, as I sent it to more lists than intended ! Again, please accept my apologies.
