Hello Joe, Thanks for getting back to me. I was thinking of doing the list in stages where the first step would be creating a skeletal outline of surnames for the various counties with some place names indicated and at least one source cited to justify each name's presence in the list. Once this is established, contributors could start to add additional sourced information and links to other pages. I don't want to go at the project so that it is too time consuming initially and people become disheartened. I'd rather see it grow initially to include a reasonably large number of names for each county before anything like a major expansion of detail took place. That way, if a person only has a few minutes a day to add entries to the basic outline, that would be practicable and encouraging. Essentially what I am thinking of is an alphabetical "see list" organised by county. Any thoughts?
