Might as well jump in here - actually I enjoy these as much as the genealogy. I recently made the mistake of posting my family files to Ancestry.com. I am deluged with emails asking for everything I have on so-and-so. So-and-so is usually a way far distant marriage partner or something and when I see the name I haven't a clue where to look in my family files and am not about to wade through the Ancestry.com files to find the connection. So add - asking for any kind of lookup anywhere to the fine list of suggestions posted so far. Nadine
