Good people, Please change the subject line if you are posting about your surnames so that we will know which ones to open. And please delete all of previous postings in your new reply except for specific bits related to your new post. In digest mode, we have to wade through dozens of screens of print to get to next message. We cannot "just delete" without losing everything. Apologies to the new list owner for these remarks, and I look forward to posting my names soon. Elizabet

I am interested in Thomas and Jane LOVE from west Cork (I think). They emigrated from Cork in the late 1830s or very early 1840s, with their children Elizabeth and James (born in Cork, Ireland) to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Thomas LOVE died (date unknown), and his widow Jane LOVE remarried a John PHIBBS (also from "Ireland) in Gore District (now Hamilton Ontario) in 1846. Carolyn

Couldn't agree more, Elizabet. And may I just add that for those who subscribe to Digest mode, would you please ensure that you type in the correct subject when you reply to a post, as a Subject that mentions only the Digest is not very helpful either. I am not sure how those replies attach to a particular thread. Years ago, I began by subscribing to Digest mode, but I could see no value or saving in so doing, and quickly changed to List mode, where you immediately see the subject of each post. Yes, you receive numerically more e-mails, but only the same amount of text content, so download time difference would be minimal, and if you aren't interested in the subject displayed, you can delete them all for the day without having to open even one message. (Personally I have found that there are many gems in replies that are applicable to a wide spectrum of researchers, not just those looking at a particular name.) Perhaps our new list administrator would care to comment on the usefulness or otherwise of Digest mode. Something to cut your teeth on perhaps, Chris? I add my thanks to both the old and the new administrators, without whom this great list would not exist - and we would all be the poorer for that.
