Hi Gareth, I would like to go along with your sentiments too. I have been quite quiet on the List over recent months (off on my Staffordshire ancestors, I afraid) but I am still here monitoring the List and help where I can. It is only through kind people that we meet on these Lists that we are able to further our research. I, for one, have been helped beyond my wildest dreams over the years from people I have lost touch with - usually loosing their email address when my system has crashed! I, too, would just like to thank all those people on the Pembs/Dyfed List who have helped me over the years I have subscribed and in return I hope to be able to continue helping fellow/new researchers and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
