Wendy, The advice is great for newbies to look to see of other searchers..But I would like to add one more item. If you post that you have information, on a site such as Hugh's, make sure that the email addee is one that is current! This is just a little thing that I do...When I go on a site and I leave my name I write it in a notebook or on my computer in what I call search records...Then when life and genealogy is at a lull I go ahead and go back and double check the site to see if any new ones had been added...This keeps oneself current and on top of the situation and CAN be contacted if someone is researching your SURENAME. And it is a good way to keep track of search sites and passwords. I went to Hugh's site and there were five with the name BROMWICH...Two of the three that I contacted was returned addee not known.. Also, remember to check the varieties to the surname: such as BROMAGE, BROMWICK, BRAMICH, BRAMWICH, etc. Some newbies forget that there is more than one spelling of their names. Love this list!
