Dear list members, Please have patience about the creation of your group. The response has been tremendous and it is taking time to get them all set up. Have no fear! Your group is in the que for creation. Jim and Diane

Sad to see this happen to all the Mailing Lists. I'm happy to join Facebook groups but I know that many folks do not wish to do so. The Kent Eng list I belong to has successfully migrated to groups.io and seems to be working well. Lots of members have posted their list of surnames or asked for help. An opportunity to encourage members of this group to post about their ancestors or seek help.

I have a flock of roughly 80 GOLDFINCH on my family tree. My earliest member was John GOLDFINCH circa 1665 - 1706. He was my 8Xg-grandfather - b. in Monkton, Kent and died in Canterbury, He married Mary TURNER on 18 May 1690 at the Parish Church, in Sturry, Kent. Ages since I looked at this branch of my family tree but DO LET’S KEEP OUR GOLDFINCH LiST ON ROOTSWEB ACTIVE Happy to receive any information or corrections. Best wishes, Diana-in-Canada

We just wanted to encourage you all to make use of this list in your family searches. A large number of Rootsweb lists have been made inactive due to no messages over a period of time. We want to keep as many lists active as we possibly can and your participation will help toward that goal. If you have a "brick wall" in your family search, send in a message with as much information as you have and let's see if someone may be able to help fill in those blanks. Best wishes, Jim and Di

Hi Janis: Great to hear from you and thank you so much for sending the findmypast info. I am going to have great fun with it.

Hi Diane and List Members: If you haven't worked on your Kent Goldfinch line for a while it might be a good time to look for any missing information. Familysearch.org has added a lot of records for Kent. As you may remember the old IGI had very few Kent entries especially for East Kent. Parish registers from the Canterbury Archives are soon to appear on Findmypast in a browseable format (not indexed). Being able to view scanned images of the actual parish registers will be great. If you don't have a subscription for Findmypast you can use it for free at any LDS Family History Centre. Note also that Familysearch has added Kent Wills but apparently you can only view many of Will images at a Family History Centre. The Rochester Diocese is viewable on your home computer. Ancestry.com has added the Tyler Collection which contains extractions for some surnames from Kent Parish Registers, Monumental Inscriptions, Wills, etc. These have been indexed. If you don't have an Ancestry.com subscription you can use it for free at any LDS Family History Centre or possibly at your local library. Ancestry.com also has a lot of London parish registers for those Goldfinch families who moved into London. Many of these are now indexed making it easier to search for missing baptisms, etc. Viewing the actual parish register provides more info than what appears in the IGI or other indexes. Occupation and address are often given which can help sort out the various families. Happy hunting.
