Thanks Sharon that takes the mystery out of this. I have never run into that phrase before or at least not meaning divorce.

My relative Pamela HALLERON, born 1948 in York married Roger Merchant (formerly Parker) in 1970. When I received the death certificate for her father who died in 1984 I noticed that informant was Pamela NICHOLSON, daughter. I found a marriage of a Kenneth Michael Nicholson and Pamela Nicholson on FreeBMD so sent for that certificate. It states that Pamela Nicholson (name changed by deed poll) and Kenneth Nicholson married in 1991 and that her marriage had been previously dissolved. I am wondering if there is any way of finding out when she had her name changed and why the marriage was dissolved. I thought at first that maybe they had been married in a Catholic church and that is why the term 'dissolved' was used but the first marriage was in a Church of England. The sad part of this saga is that she died 5 days later of cancer. I guess they decided to make it legal while there was still time. Carol Lylyk Calgary Canada

Hello David, Does this supposed Yorksgen message appear in the Yorksgen archive at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/YORKSGEN/? If so, then I have missed it, but it should be reported to Rootsweb immediately. If it does not appear in the archive, then it is not a genuine Yorksgen mail and should be consigned to your spam folder and deleted. The Rootsweb system filters out all spam mails - or should do. No message can get through to the list unless from a genuine subscriber, with an email address that the system recognises.

As a list owner myself I get quite a few messages from rootsweb telling me that a message had been sent to my list by a non subscriber and asking for my approval before allowing it to go to my list. 99 times out of 100 I report it as spam and tick the boxes to send it to the spam folder and also to ban the sender from posting to the list. On the odd occasion I allow it through it was because the message was too big and exceeded the allowable size. Other occasions when a message has gone through by a subscriber as an obvious spam was because the email address had been hacked and the real subscriber was not aware of it The messages I get from rootsweb is on almost daily basis and I have to go to the rootsweb site to deal with it which is annoying. Other times you get a possible spam message check the recipients you may find quite a few and the lists shows clearly that it is a spam message Victor Sent from my BlackBerry® wireless device -----Original Message----- From: JANICE WOOD <janwood50@btinternet.com> Sender: yorksgen-bounces@rootsweb.com Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2012 13:10:21 To: JJupar@aol.com<JJupar@aol.com>; Davidandmaggie@aol.com<Davidandmaggie@aol.com>; yorksgen@rootsweb.com<yorksgen@rootsweb.com> Reply-To: JANICE WOOD <janwood50@btinternet.com> Subject: Re: [YORKSGEN] non gen.....Deleting spam without being unsubscribed Hello David, Does this supposed Yorksgen message appear in the Yorksgen archive at http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/index/YORKSGEN/?

Hi all Just to let you all know that there is a new Random Act of Genealogical Kindness up and running Free genealogy and research support (all countries included) Welcome to GenerousGenealogists it is our hope to represent a ‘renewed’ Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness Group. Our activities, site, and purpose are largely modeled after that of the original RAOGK group which was founded and managed between 1999 and 2011 by Bridgett and Dale Schneider. Quite simply, we are volunteers who agree to provide free genealogy research and assistance, as an act of kindness, to “those in need.” GenerousGenealogists volunteers agree to donate their time for free; recipients of our assistance agree to pay/ reimburse our volunteers for any/all expenses incurred in the fulfillment of “their” requests (including: copies, printing fees, postage, film or video tape, parking fees, mileage, etc.). The assistance, research and networking we provide are made available freely and without respect or intent of financial gain. All any of our volunteers will ever request of you is expense reimbursement and a Thank You. Visit us here : http://generousgenealogists.com/ Thanks Annemarie Admin generousgenealogists
