Hello, listers -- Yes, I'm back on my own computer which is finally fixed and in good shape. My apologies to all for sending that off-topic message yesterday about my predicament. I guess I was feeling a little nervous at having "my baby" (ie. the list) unattended for three whole days!! I also knew that others were waiting for replies off-list. Now, back to on-topic subjects. For those listers who are researching in the Channel Islands, there is quite a comprehensive web site called Channel Islands Genealogy which is at URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/ci.html . You will notice John Fuller's name in there. It's the very same John Fuller who has another site which I've mentioned before, ie. Genealogy Resources on the Internet, http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/internet.html. The Channel Islands are off the coast of Normandy but belong to the UK. They include the larger islands of Guernsey & Jersey, and three small ones: Alderney, Sark, and Herm. Among the information to be accessed on the Channel Islands site is -- Channel Islands Mailing List, Channel Islands Surname Interests List, Volunteers/Lookups and an Index to 1849 Map of Jersey. There are also *lots* of links to other sites which may be of interest. There is, for example, info about The Priaulx Library. There are a lot of French surnames to be found in Channel Islands research but not all are Huguenot in origin. Please check the list archives for previous posts about this geographical area. Hope this helps someone out there. Andrea
