I agree with this. This has to be the worst list (sorry!) for people who don't even indicate what COUNTRY they are talking about. I can figure out abbreviations for states and provinces, but if you say "I'm looking for John Parker born in 1875" then I reach for the "delete" key without even trying to help you. ;-) Rob Rushton Hull E Yorkshire UK > There are many many Parkers bearing the same name.

Hi Rob and all other Parker researchers, I agree that some people are very inconsiderate and seem to write as if others on the list have supernatural powers and can "know" what Country the Parkers are from. (or maybe they don't think!). Does anyone recognise themselves ? If so then for your own benefit please change. Your message is likely to be read by more people so you will probably get more help that way. So the moral is : If you put more effort in then you'll get more out.
