It looks very good and the bit of the bottom of the profile page is interesting. I'm surprised by the overlap of our study surnames, but perhaps I shouldn't be?

Nigel has done a fantastic job of arranging the search results to show what the Guild offers on any given surname. Actual details may be behind the paywall but the teasers are there. Much more interesting than just someone is or is not doing a study on the name. Scroll down to the bottom of any Profile page as well. It's a great improvement and I think makes the site friendlier. Number 2 - As you all know, I load material to the WWM (World Wide Marriages Index - now over 150 thousand names and growing) - one of the byproducts of this activity has meant that I have had a much wider peek into other peoples studies. ANd honestly, I am blown away by the sheer scope and magnitude of the work done. You members of the Guild have done fantastic work, a university should be so good. Maps, DNA, Etymology, Data crunching, Story telling, Immigration patterns, medieval manuscripts, farming methods, midwifery, military concerns - if it concerns your surname in anyway, you study it, you analyse it and then produce results others can use. Traditional historians could learn a lot from you. SO may I say congratulations and keep it up . And for those of you that haven't looked at other studies, use the new search and visit some of the members websites - there are less than 700 so at one a day - it's less than 2 years. I have gotten so many ideas I hope to include in my study, maybe I'll produce a movie. Finally I 'm still looking for more marriages - anywhere - anytime Marie (GOONS 5318) Bringing the world together one surname at a time.

That was a nice little surprise from Nigel and the webmaster team. We are very, very lucky that the team marches on and keeps delivering all these little improvements. Thanks so much!
