Hi List
For those who have asked what is the BMD Index. Well it is an internet project to transcribe the GRO Index of Birth, Marriage, Deaths for the UK. The same one thats on microfiches at libraries etc. Then make it available the internet. Volunteers are doing the transcribing. It is at http://freebmb.rootsweb.com
If your relations are not on it now it is worth checking every so often as it is being added to each week
Hope this helps
Jayne
Poor you. People can get really touchy, can't they?
Were they actually Merry names that you found? I have been busy with
something else these past few months and have not done any Merry research.
Will have to get there soon and have a look around.
Happy for you that you found something.

Hi all
I seemed to unearthed some strong emotions when I questioned whether it would be easier to have records on cds that fiche. For this I am sorry. The reason why questioned it was that I am very enthusiatic about researching my family trees but because of some phyical disabilities find it hard to get myself over to the library to look at the BMD indexes and even harder to handle the fiche. Yesterday I used the free BMD index online and found six relations
I hope people understand why I was questioning

Dear list,
I finally did it. I created a homepage for the list! This site
http://www.mdwsweb.com/genealogylists/ contains information about
the list plus links to other useful sites.
Along with it comes a brand new Welcome Letter for the list. This
time I'm trying something new. Rather than send the Welcome Letter
to the list as an email as I've done in the past I'm leaving it up
to you members to retrieve the letter from the homepage. Just go

I found this in another list and thought I'd pass it along here.

where you can see all the dates and places. It would be wonderful
to meet my great-grandmother who was gone before my time. And I'm
sure my father, who is still alive and kicking, would like to see
his grandmother again. And while we're at it let's bring her

Genetic Genealogy Q&A for Beginners

I found this interesting site that might be of use to beginners of
DNA studies although more knowledgeable folks might find something
new there also.
If you navigate to the site homepage at http://www.isogg.org/ you
will have the opportunity to join the International Society of
Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG). All that is required is to fill in the
required info and you're in.
Note that after joining they may invite you to join the DNA-N
Many of us in the USA will soon be celebrating
Thanksgiving. Listmembers, if you could have one of your ancestors
with this surname join you for Thanksgiving dinner, which ancestor
would you invite? What questions would you ask him/her?
Please send a post to this list telling us about your ancestor -
and please remember to include dates and locations.

Dear All:
Some volunteers from the society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution ( DAR) have established a wonderful
new program for users of Rootsweb. These volunteers
will do lookups in their database and records if you
think one of your ancestors served in some capacity
during the American Revolution. These volunteers have
more databases that are available to them than the ones
commonly used by the search engines.
The process is fairly simple :

Hi Priscilla,
Yes, I'm researching this family. But no, I don't have a clue to
Joseph Merry's ancestry. Unless somebody has done further research
all that is known of Joseph (as far as I know) is found in "The
History of Martha's Vineyard" by Dr. Charles
Hello everyone,
I am new to the list and looking for any descendants of John & Ann
(nee Palmer) MERRY. Both John & Ann Palmer were born in Castle
Bytham, Lincoln, and were married on the 09 September 1852 in
Bourne Lincolnshire.
Somewhere along the line they must have moved to London as they
have a child named William who was born in London in 1852. I found
William living with grandparents William & Rebecca PALMER in
Lincoln in the 1861 & 1871 census.
I'm pretty sure I have found Williams parents
