Hi All, Carol of TreeTops http://freespace.virgin.net/tree.tops/ has offered to do a "special week" of messages on the Family Tree Pages available on the Text Pages British TV, for the benefit of Wales-Gen subscribers. (I have no objection if this is forwarded to other Rootsweb lists for Wales, but please check with the relevant list admin's first!) The format of the messages needs to be 40 words and INCLUDE a postal address (this is to benefit those without email). An example is: Seeking ANY details on Jabez Nicholls b. 1837 Swansea Glamorgan. ****Insert Your postal address & email address HERE**** The sample is a genuine message, if you connect to Jabez please contact the address below. Messages should be sent either to wales-gen-admin@rootsweb.com Please put "special week" in the subject heading. As soon as there is 36 messages they will be allocated a week to be screened. The last time Carol did a special week it proved to be VERY successful. For details on TreeTops see below. Remember, these messages are now being screened AND placed on Treetops-News-L-request@rootsweb.com (See below for details) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TREE TOPS QUERY SERVICE - INFORMATION E-m: tree.tops@virgin.net Web Pages: http://freespace.virgin.net/tree.tops/ Please feel free to pass any of the following info around. The idea is to send your FAMILY TREE QUERY of no more than 40 words which must include a postal address for the benefit of those television viewers not on e-mail. It wll go on the British television creen on Sky News fastext for one week and be seen all over the UK, Ireland and Europe. This is a FREE service and you do not need to have the facility to use it. ****NEW:**** The edited version of the messages will also be placed on the TREETOPS-NEWS Internet Mailing List - see below for subscribe address. Postal addresses will NOT be placed on the mailing list. A 2nd FREE service is called 'WE'LL MEET AGAIN" which is also a query service but more for the living, old pals, war buddies, 20c descendants etc. Again 40 words. TREE TOPS OVERSEAS - Free Family Tree & Meet Again Service: Searching for details of a friend, relative, ancestor from an area NOT covered by the TV screen?

Click on http://freespace.virgin.net/tree.tops/ and you will see what the pages actually look like on the television. Keep looking, as the graphic turns over, and you will see sample messages, giving you an idea of what yours could look like. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Regards Julie Goucher, List Owner Wales Gen Anglers Rest Indexes http://freespace.virgin.net/ar.indexes Anglers Rest Home Page http://www.dreamwater.net/anglersrest/Index.htm C J http://freespace.virgin.net/genealogical.collections C J Genealogy http://www.dreamwater.net/genealogy/Index.htm Fax & Voice Mail (+44) 0870 130 5474 One Name Study ORLANDO GOONS Registered (new) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
