Yes, I heartily agree that the R.W. Lists are great ! I got the Internet about 8 years ago and started subscribing to the Lists about a year or so later. I started with a few, and now? I belong to well over 100 Lists, perhaps many more than that. And, I belong to Lists in Canada and the U.K. Because of that, and the "British Home Children" List, I have e-mailed with people on almost every continent. And, it is a lot of fun ! A few years ago I thought I was e-mailing a man in Canada about my LEWIS ancestor. When I got a response a couple weeks later, that man was e-mailing from the top of the Andes Mountains in Peru. He was "on assignment" there. I had basic information about my family-tree from my mother's research. But the people on the Internet have provided most of the rest of it. I have a great deal of information, but it is all on paper - in boxes in my living room. I don't have a web site, and never put it into FTM or anything similar. But, what I do is put all my "findings" into the Lists and Boards. As far as "naming patterns" go, I tried that. And, it didn't help with the KERR's and HENDERSON's. Mainly because we don't know about their parents in Ireland. Betty Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
