Dear All, You are receiving this message because you have subscribed to one of Rootsweb's Genealogical Mailing lists. I must point out that I have nothing to do with the administration of any of these Rootsweb lists, I am like you, simply a subscriber. Please do not reply to this message unless you find a problem with the Yorkshire Surnames Interest list (i.e. different to the Rootsweb Mailing lists), and if you do reply, please send the message direct to me ( [email protected] ) and not to this Rootsweb Mailing list. This is hopefully the last message to the list on this subject for a year or two, though there will be surname updates from time to time. I have now completed the checking of bouncing emails for the surnames list, having sent out some 10,000 emails and having received 4045 bounces. This resulted in 7291 lines in the surnames list being flagged as bouncing emails- about one in three! I have also done a major re-write of the software (the first since 2007) and fixed all the "bugs" I could see, but there may be some bugs in it still (and I'm quite good at making new ones :-)) - if you have problems with the pages, please drop me a line direct ( [email protected] ). You will find a list of the 4045 bouncing email addresses at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/BouncedEmails.txt and a list of the user names associated with these email addresses at: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/BouncedNames.txt both are in alphabetical order. If you have ever subscribed to the YKS surnames list, please check these two files to see if you are listed, and if you are, then please let me know what I can do to fix the problem(s) by email, ( [email protected] ). I should emphasise that these lists are much longer than the list I produced a couple of weeks ago. I have uploaded the new pages to the YKS surnames list site: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/ and made these pages slightly easier to navigate. If you would like to submit your surnames, please go to: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/YKSlist/submit.htm In the last two weeks there have been over 90 new submissions, these are flagged on the web pages by a "new" graphic: ARMITAGE BAIRSTOW, BARBROOK, BEANLAND, BEDFORD, BEECROFT BERRY, BINNINGTON, BOLTON, BOTTOMLEY, BRACEWELL BRAYSHAW, BRIGGS, BROADLEY, BULMER, BURNS CADE, CHAPEL, CHILD, COLLINSON, COULTAS DANIEL, DARNBROUGH, DAVIES, DEAN, DUCK EAMES(2), ELLIS FARRAR, FELTHAM, FITTON, FORD, FRANKLAND GAUNT, GREEN, GUERIN, GUEST HABERSHAW, HADDOCK, HAIGH, HALLIDAY(2), HANSOM HARE, HARRISON, HEMINGWAY, HOLMES, HOVINGTON HOWSE, HOYLE, HUDSON, HUTCHINSON, HUTTON ILLINGWORTH, INGHAM JACQUES KEIGHLEY, KERSHAW LANTTHROPPE, LAW, LOCKWOOD, LUMB MANNIFIELD, MARRIOTT, MARSDEN, MOUNTAIN OFFICE, ORWYNNE PADGET, PICKARD, PICKERING, PLAYFORTH, POINTING RAISTRICK, RAWSON, READER, REIBLEIN, REYNER RICHARDSON, RILEY, ROBINSON, ROLLING, RUSSELL SAUNDERSON, SELLARS, SELLERS, SENNETT, SHEARMAN SIMONS, SPINK(2), STYAN, SUTCLIFFE THORNTON, TOLL, TUMMON WADDY, WALMSLEY, WELLS, WILCOCK, WILLIAMSON WIMPENIE, WRAY Happy Hunting and thank you for your time.
