Advertising is commercial for gain. This most definitely is not - simply telling listers of what they may find is a useful link. I notice that already over 120 unique visitors have had a look at the "advertised" page - and they may or may not have found it of interest - yours is so far the only response I have seen.

I notice that my original message had a major typo in the subject line !! (now corrected here), but advertising, in the normal meaning of the term it was not. Of course, I get a major feeling of being useful in my old age, from the messages of enquiry, requests for assistance, or enquiry I get from the many e=mails, or contributions to my web-site I receive from listers, which are countless in their numbers over the years that I have been involved, in my retirement - which justify me in feeling I have made some useful contribution to family and local history in Norfolk - a research in which I have now spent a quarter of a century since retirement in 1986 and which I have always tried to share with others on the web. Alan Nelson and others may like to read my explanation of how I became involved, which is available on my web-site (from 1989) at <http://apling.freeservers.com/Transcripts.htm>. A couple of years ago, I got others in our tiny village (total population not much over 40), which has so much history to celebrate - including the Robert Southwell who commanded a ship of-the-line in the defeat of the Armada - and much else to organised a History Day, which brought several hundred visitors and a contribution of over £300 to help with the maintenance of our ancient church (to which several links are to be found on my site - including an audio presentation which includes some music from our rare barrel organ). Woodrising has, for many years been included in the civil parish of Cranworth = and in late May we had this year an equally successful History Weekend - in which the component villages of Cranworth, Southburgh, Letton and Woodrising all participated, with spectacular success. It was a result of planning for this weekend that Terry Miller got in touch with me and told me of their researches into the Southwell family, for which they had been unable to find a publisher and I willingly said "I will put it on my web-site" - which I have done, I hope successfully. An earlier history of Woodrising was prepared in 1959 by Francis Steer (listed on the Bibliography page) - published at the time by the Diocese of Norwich. This has long been out-of-print; so I am now planning to transcribe THIS over the next few weeks. There are many in Norfolk contributing to the free dissemination of local and family history on the web and am glad, despite the occasional carping messages such as that of the instigator of this epistle, that my efforts seem to be well rewarded - in that my web-site receives an average daily usage of an average of 650 page hits and over 200 unique visitors daily. So - if my notifications of new additions to the site are "advertising" - it seems that they are generally well received .....
