Dear Members, My name is Paul Theobald. Following Eliz's email I have volunteered to take over ownership of the THEOBALD mailing list. The first thing I would like to do is to give a warm thank you to Eliz for looking after the list all these years. She tells me that she started about 10 years ago, which is an amazing feat. I hope to continue in good stead. I should say a little about myself. I live in the UK, in north London and have been researching my Theobald line for about the last 15 years, centred around Long Melford in Suffolk. I've been a member of the THEOBALD mailing list since 2002. Although I have looked after other types of mailing list in the past, this is my first RootsWeb mailing list. So please excuse if I make any mistakes while I learn the ropes. If anyone has any questions about the list you can contact me at THEOBALD-admin@rootsweb.com, or directly to the email address above. Good luck in your research!
