I would appreciate any thoughts on this please. For some time, the Guild has had a project to look up post-2005 Birth Marriage and Death indexes in England and Wales. These indexes are not available online and can only be viewed on microfiche at a small number of locations in the UK: Birmingham Central Library Bridgend Reference and Information Library The British Library City of Westminster Archives Centre Greater Manchester County Record Office Plymouth Central Library For those who live outside the UK, or who are in the UK but not near one of the places where the records are available, it is difficult to access these records. The project was set up to enable entries to be searched and transcribed on behalf of members. The project has a co-ordinator who receives requests for look-ups for registered study names and passes these to a band of volunteers able to visit one of the places and extract the data. However, in practice we do not have these volunteers and the co-ordinator role is vacant - so we have no way to respond to any requests received. We think that this is still a potentially useful service for members, since these are key records for one-namers who have interests in England and Wales, and members who do not live near to the record offices are disadvantaged in terms of accessing these records. But without volunteers, the current process will not work. One suggestion is to try to see if this might work as a look up offer, rather than an ongoing project. If we could find members who are planning visits to one of the record offices and who might have some spare time, then they might make an offer to do some limited look ups. However, it is difficult to estimate the level of work that might be required to fulfil a request. For smaller names this might be manageable but for larger names this can become a significant task - which gets larger as additional years are added. In practice, few requests are currently being received. This may be because members are not aware the service is offered or perhaps there is little interest in these records. Should we seek to continue to offer this service and to look for volunteers who can help? Are there any alternative approaches that we might look at? Any thoughts welcome. Thank you.

Potentially of interest to Guild members who have Oxfordshire roots - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oxfordshire Family History Society (OFHS) has started a new Oxfordshire surnames research project, examining surnames recorded in Oxfordshire parish registers from 1538 onwards, currently estimated at up to 20,000 key variants. The team is also using many other early recorded sources to build a comprehensive database of Oxfordshire surnames. The aim is to trace their whereabouts in different parishes over time, their origins, hotspots, DNA connections and many other facets of Oxfordshire surnames. The project will take about 2 years to complete. The project team is appealing for help from those who have a good recorded family history in Oxfordshire or who manage a one-name study. They are welcome to contact the team with a brief description and their contact details, so that when their surname is analysed they may be able to participate in submitting content for that name. All significant contributors will be acknowledged. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I'd like to encourage Guild members with Oxfordshire links to be involved with this project - # At this stage the team want just a interest in being involved - so please send your contact details, name of interest, and place(s) in Oxfordshire where you have records of the name's occurrence, to the team leader Sue Honore via surname-project@ofhs.org.uk # Later, you will be asked for more detail, tied to place - so wills, and newspaper records, for instance - or, perhaps, sources such as gamekeeper licences - would all be of interest. # It is anticipated that the analysis will be published as a book, with a page or so on the occurrence and detail of each name, and lots of maps, and with some information also made available on the OFHS website, in the members' section. Do consider joining the project! While I'm writing - a reminder that Oxfordshire has a surname interest list, OXSIL, www.oxsil.org.uk, open to all to search and to register Oxfordshire interests. Furthermore, there's a section specifically for Guild members with strong Oxfordshire interests to register their one-name studies. Wendy OFHS publicity co-ordinator

Hello everyone, I have received the following communication from the Federation asking whether anyone could help Dianne Byrne with old documents about Queensland, Australia. Can anyone help? -------------------------------------------------------------------- The FFHS has received an email from Dianne Byrne who is the Curator of the Original Materials Collection at the State Library of Queensland in Brisbane Australia. Dianne will be visiting the UK in the summer to try to locate 19th and 20th Century Manuscripts, correspondence, diaries and photographs with a Queensland association for the State's Library Collection. She is anxious to make contact with private individuals who may have family material relating to Queensland for donation or purchase. If you wish to contact her please email Dianne at Dianne.byrne@slq.qld.gov.au --------------------------------------------------------------------- Your Fed Rep. Peter Copsey

The Journal of Genetic Genealogy has been resurrected and the first new issue is now available online: http://jogg.info/ I've put the details in this blog post: https://cruwys.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/new-issue-of-revived-journal-of-geneti c.html See also this blog post from Leah Larkin the new editor: http://thednageek.com/the-journal-of-genetic-genealogy-and-scientific-publis hing/ Some Guild members have previously published articles in JoGG. It is not a rival to our own "Journal of One-Name Studies" as it has a very different remit. However, it's a useful platform if you wish to publish a lengthy piece of research and subject it to the peer review process. Best wishes Debbie Kennett

Since changing my primary mail provider last year, I am no longer able to send mail from my one-name.org addresses (though of course I can receive mail sent to elston@one-name.org and mike.elston@one-name.org, since they’re forwarded to my own email address). My previous ISP, until they discontinued their mail service last year, offered an unauthenticated service, which meant as long as my mail client signed on correctly, I could send mail using any ‘from’ address I chose. My new mail provider offers authenticated SMTP, which means it will only accept mail sent from my own domain. I have a couple of gmail addresses, but if I try to send mail through Google’s SMTP server, it silently changes the ‘from’ address to the gmail address. I’ve seen the comments by the Guild Chairman in his recent newsletter, and I’m aware of the debate about Yahoo’s change in mail policy. Can anyone recommend a free SMTP server which will allow me to register my onename.org email addresses and accept and forward mail sent from those addresses?
