    1. [G] re National Rep
    2. Anne Brady via
    3. David It was felt that there are insufficient members in the South Island to justify having a second rep there. From memory, last time I looked we had about four! Anne NZ rep Auckland Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2015 04:30:11 +1300 From: Sherlock Holmes <grimason@vodafone.co.nz> Subject: Re: [G] Chairmans News Flash ( National Rep) Hi, I have reason to suspect that the reason for there being a New Zealand national Rep is that the country is not divided up into States like Australia is for example, plus also the population is not the same size either. However I would have thought that there would have been two reps one for the North Island and one for the South Island for New Zealand due to the geography of the country.

    3. Thanks I found only one Yare, but John came from Scotland (where I believe the name may have originated) to the East Ward of Westmorland, where the name was concentrated until the 19th century. This John Yare is earlier than any others in my study, and I will have trouble connecting him in, but is possibly the ancestor of all the Yares that I have.

    1. [G] Gloucestershire records on Ancestry
    2. Elizabeth Jack via
    3. I think it is worth pointing out that, although Ancestry are calling their new records those of the Gloucestershire parish registers, they are actually only those of the Diocese of Gloucester and not those in the Diocese of Bristol which includes many parishes from the south of the county. So if you are looking for a record in, say, Iron Acton, Westerleigh or Bitton, you won't find them. Liz Jack Member 6058 / GWINNETT

    3. Interesting as FMP has just released Bristol BMD indexes (only transcriptions marriages 1644-1939 strange that the earliest one of my name is 1837) Having performed a search on both I have 30 marriages on FMP, and 31 on Ancestry none of which are in Bristol- so in theory another 60 marriages to collect. Have yet to look at the baptisms and deaths. The Bristol Marriage challenge gave me 23 Marriages so must be some new ones! I am looking to update my web site- can anyone point me to members webs sites who have 2,500 entries in the 1881 census as a rough guide to planning a decent layout.

    1. [G] Calling all Challengers!
    2. Peter Copsey via
    3. Hello everyone, I am finalising my list for the April Journal giving the Marriage Challenges that will be starting in the following weeks and months (Challenges starting between 21 April and 14 July). More volunteers are needed; the present list is a bit short. Why not give it a try? If you live within fairly easy reach of your County Record Office, you could be helping many other members with their Studies. You can generally claim back expenses from the Guild – max £15 per day travel costs. A Challenge can be tailored to make it as big as you feel comfortable with, just by limiting the span of the years to be searched. I can advise. Perhaps you would like to try a Challenge with the help of another Guild member that you know; or a friend or family member. Clearly the Challenge should not be for a Registration District that has been done recently and one where all the marriage registers are searchable on Ancestry, Findmypast etc. Not sure? I can advise. Peter Copsey – Marriage Challenge Co-ordinator marriage-challenge@one-name.org phone 01277 651800

    3. Fiona Thanks for setting the record straight. Ireland is actually different because you don't have county groups as we do in England. In fact looking at the list I see that Scotland and Wales are divided into just a few big groups: http://www.one-name.org/members/reps.html At the other extreme we have three regional reps for the English county of Yorkshire! I would guess that the system has evolved on a somewhat ad hoc basis over the years.

The name also occurs several times in 1 Chronicles 25-27.
