Our website Southern Life(UK) has won another award (see below) and it is the help we have received from the subscribers to this list that has achieved this for us. So give yourselves a pat on the back!! Many thanks to you all Chris and Caroline Hi Chris and Caroline: It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the staff of the Golden Gate Genealogy Forum on AOL has selected Southern Life(UK) (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~villages/ ) as the July 2003 winner of our Best Site Pick award. The team that reviewed the site found it to be an impressive compilation of detailed and unique information related to the history and life of the county of Hampshire, England, and its neighboring counties of Berkshire, Dorset, Isle of Wight, Surrey, Wiltshire, and West Sussex. The collection of photographs of the various towns and villages is extremely well done and of particular interest, while the additional information on local history, churches, nostalgia, and other areas of local colour adds significantly to the user's understanding of the life and times of our English ancestors. The site has been well planned and organized and is easy to navigate, allowing those with an interest in this area to readily locate desired information and relate directly to the people and times of the region. The team considered the site to be one of the best we have seen for providing detailed and well-documented information in a specific area of research. You can rightfully be proud of your efforts. You can view the award announcement at: http://www.genealogyforum.rootsweb.com/gfaol/bsp.htm You may also elect to display the attached BEST SITE PICK award logo on your web site. Your efforts are to be commended. Keep up the excellent work. John Fuller Golden Gate Genealogy Forum Best Site Pick Team Coordinator --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
