Here is the note I got. Interesting survey. Charles Dear Charles, Would the members of the Eastern Washington Genealogical Society be interested in helping us understand how the Internet is used by genealogists? I am an amateur genealogist and PhD candidate with Curtin University of Technology in Australia, currently researching the use of the Internet for genealogy by people in USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the UK, for my PhD thesis. As a result, I am writing to you as a contact of your organisation to seek help in inviting your individual members to participate in the study. The privacy of your members is paramount however, therefore I ask: would you consider forwarding an e-mail invitation about the survey to your member e-mail list on my behalf? The survey (and information sheet) is available and ready for participation until 10 April 2005 at http://igcs.survey.curtin.edu.au. Should you pass on the details of the survey to your members, I would love to hear from you via reply to this email, or to my academic e-mail at k.veale@student.curtin.edu.au. And as my personal thank you for your help, I would like to offer you a report on the results for the WA, USA region, after the survey closes. Results of the survey will also be sent to every participant. Thanking you in advance, Kylie Veale Curtin University of Technology, Australia PhD Website: http://www.veale.com.au/phd This study is an Australian PhD Research project, approved by the Curtin University Human Research Ethics Committee in June 2004. -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
