Hi Norman One way is to join the appropriate family history societies for the areas where your names of interest are centred. Most of them put their members interests on their websites. For example, Glasgow and West of Scotland FHS http://www.gwsfhs.org.uk/omid/ I am aware that many people are not aware of local family history societies or do not see why they should join one. For that reason, perhaps, many of these local societies have a FaceBook page. You generally do not have to belong to the society to join its FaceBook page. Many list members interests, eg Devon, Somerset & Dorset. If you are interested in all things Thornton, are you considering registering this?

Norman Even if you haven't registered a one-name study with the Guild you can still register your surname interests. Log into the Members' Room, click on Members/Register a Surname Interest, and then fill in your details. Whenever someone searches for your surnames in the Guild register from the home page of the website your entry will show up. To see how it works type in Faithfull in the search box and you can see one of my entries. See the article by the Registrar on page 26 of the October-December 2013 issue of JOONS which explains how the scheme works: http://one-name.org/journals/volume-11/vol11-08/ If you're interested in all things Thornton perhaps you should be registering the Thornton surname with the Guild. Every one-name study has to start somewhere so it doesn't matter if you haven't yet done, say, Australia or America. The only requirement when you register a surname is that you must answer all enquiries. If you register the Thornton surname with the Guild you can then create your own profile page - a web page devoted to your Thornton study. You can list on your profile page all the material that you've collected so that people know what to expect when writing to you. If you like, you can include on your profile page some information about your other research interests. For example, I have a short paragraph on my profile which lists all the other surnames that I'm researching. The profile pages show up highly in search engine results and I've sometimes had enquiries for these other surnames through the Guild. You can find details on how to register a surname here: http://www.one-name.org/guildhowreg.html You can find out how to set up a profile page here: http://one-name.org/do-you-have-a-profile-page-for-your-one-name-study/ Debbie Kennett Member no. 4554 Cruwys/Cruse/Cruise one-name study http://cruwys.blogspot.com http://one-name.org/name_profile/cruwys http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CruwysDNA -----Original Message----- From: goons-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:goons-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Norman Thornton via Sent: 24 November 2014 15:16 To: Fíona Tipple; goons@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [G] Member Profile Pages layout - others getting their messageacross.
