Hi List, In the past I've recommended that folks check out "Lost Cousins". http://www.lostcousins.com/ This is a unique operation that allows us to find relatives with nearly 100% accuracy. What is more important to me is that the strategy of the search provides avenues to find those "distant" associations through "side lines" that we would not normally emphasize. For any list members that have PIGGOTTs in England in 1881, I strongly suggest that you check this out. Please let me know off list if I can assist in any way. I would also be interested in knowing which of our list members have actually entered their lines in Lost Cousins. Lost Cousins is currently experiencing an upsurge in members, per the following release today: >LostCousins welcomes Origins users > >27th July 2006 > >We'd like to welcome all new members, in particular the large number >of Origins users who have recently joined. > >Already we have seen a significant increase in the number of 'lost >cousins' that have been found over the past few days, and because >most of these matches involve one new member and one existing >member, it's great news for ALL members. > >If you have joined recently, but haven't yet entered your relatives >from the 1881 Census, now would be a good time to start! Please let >us know if there's any way we can help.
