Hello all, First let me say that 99.9% of you do follow the guidelines I have set in place for using this list. However, there are a few of you who perhaps didn't read my letter of March 11th 2008 or who have joined Nottsgen since. It quite clearly states 'one request per e-mail please'. One of the reasons for this was to discourage 'fishing trips' - for those of you who don't know the term, this mean spreading your net as widely as you can in the hope that you will catch something!! Not only is it time consuming for me but it can look very suspicious. Again, as those of you who read my letters will know, this particular list is not my transcription but the work of a friend, and I respect his wishes as to how his work is used. You will have noticed that if there is more than one John Jones I give the age so that it will give you a clearer idea whether or not he could be your relative. Nothing is written in stone! If all your Robinson family comes from Radford then ask for all the Radford ones by all means. As I have said, for the small number of people who ask for all of one surname it is a simple case of forgetting or not knowing in the first place. However, there is also the possibility that people 'fish' to set up databases to sell on or professional researchers use my research for free and then charge their clients - well, to put it bluntly -'not on my time you don't.' Can't put it anymore simply than that. So please don't take offence if I ask you to be more specific about your enquiry and give you the reasons why. I have stated so many time that this is a hobby and it should be fun. I love to have fun with it and you, so let's continue in that vein. Many thanks, Barbara _________________________________________________________________ Twice the fun—Share photos while you chat with Windows Live Messenger.
