Good day all. I would like to welcome some new members to the Tolpuddle Mailing List - Jon Loveless and Andrew M. Rose who have recently subscribed to our list. Welcome Jon and Andrew. Welcome also to those others who have joined in the past month or so. I have recently dealt with a loss of a family member and haven't been as efficient as I would of liked to be. I would like to remind everyone that although the Tolpuddle List is primarily for the research of the LOVELESS/LOVELACE surname in Canada, England, Austrailia, it is also for research of connecting surnames and/or the parish of Tolpuddle and Tolpuddle Martyrs. Funnies are allowed on this list as we are a small and connected list and many of us have become good friends through our research, sharing of trials, tribulations and yes our successes in life and in family history. I'm sure Jon and Andrew that you will find the members of this list to be very friendly and helpful. Please feel free to post your family tree and your search requests. Who knows you might find some family connections and or at least advice on where next to turn in your family research. I would also like to announce that we now have 51 members currently subscribed. Way to go!! I would like to wish everyone on this list peace, prosperity and good health for 2005. Donna King Tolpuddle List Manager emily04@rogers.com P.S. I'm also the Online Parish Clerk for Tolpuddle and am actively searching for records of births, marriages, deaths etc of the parish of Tolpuddle.
