    3. OK - I'll try and make this the last one:-) Although not hosted by Rootsweb Jim has reminded me that there is another list for Wiltshire apart from Wilthsire-EMI which I haven't mentioned yet. This is the Moonrakers List which is now hosted by Yahoo, which you can subscribe to by sending an e-mail to: moonrakers-subscribe@yahoogroups.com You will then receive a message from Yahoo asking you to return the message to confirm the subscription. To those who might raise an eyebrow at my recommendation I can confirm from personal experience that this is a much reformed list and that although it is run on a more relaxed basis than some Rootsweb lists it is nevertheless now worth joining as no doubt more than one or two list members here can confirm? :-) Regards Paul Portland

Maybe I'm a more relaxed person than some? :-) Listers may be interested to know that it also has a new and growing associated web site at: http://www.moonrakers.org.uk which is devoted to Wiltshire genealogy and associated material. ------------------------------------------------------------ Jim Fisher in Luton, Beds, UK. jim@jimella.co.uk Personal site: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jimella/home.htm Management accounting site: http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/~jimella/
