Oh, John! Not this old chestnut again! As part of my family history delvings, I became interested in surname (origin) research for some particular unusual names, read as much as I could, went on academic courses, searched the net and found the Guild. So, when I discovered that my chief surname of interest was already registered, I should have been sent away back to the wilderness, to wander alone? Happily, “Not all those who wander are lost.”*; I am glad that was the case as I have benefited enormously from the welcoming seminars, regional meetings, AGMs and the almost universally friendly and helpful GOONS. Best of all, I was lucky in that Helen, the QUESTED study registrant, was keen on collaboration and welcomed my (smaller than she and I hoped.... but watch this space.....) contributions to the study. We have had debates about this several times over the years on the forum. Oh, and I think the new website is a vast improvement. The old site was clunky, old-fashioned and hard to navigate.
