Dear Listers, on http://swiss.genealogy.net/conreg-m.htm 51 friendly volunteers offer their advice to beginners, to get their research started in certain regions (mostly villages or towns) in Switzerland - just one of the free services you get on SwissGen ;-). I have just mailed all of them to express my thanks for this service - and check whether e-mail addresses were still valid : 48 were valid ;-)), 2 have been fixed - but one is missing : Steven L. Watts, who used to live in Santa Clarita. Steve - if you read this, please, send me your new e-mail address. Is anyone on this list in contact with him, or just happens to know him ? I would appreciate if you could drop me a short note. I would like to take the opportunity to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and all the best, incl. successful research, in the New Year !
