I am way behind on my email reading. By my count, there are 103 of us at this time. We are steadily climbing in numbers. We've probably gained 20 since Christmas. This surname list is 15 weeks old. So far it has been a fairly quiet list. I wish a few more of you would post a query to the list. That is the only way we are going to make connections. I am hoping when you answer a query, unless you are sure it is only going to be of interest to one person, that you will send a copy of your response to the list. You never know who may be looking for that information.
