been

this

allow

> The setting up of a CENTRAL location of information concerning the group
> both in Genealogy and Local History [both go together]. The CENTRAL
Register

> information should be set up so it can sent as an attachment as soon as
one
> of the questions are asked and allow the person to then proceed with
their
> research and then contact the group again with more detailed information.
> The files, in my view, should contain [and I want your feedback]:
> 1. URLs containing searchable and free databases &/or information.
> [details]
> 2. Local Libraries, FHS, LHS, etc... Addresses, hours of operations,
> fees, and deatils of holdings relating to this region.
> 3. LDS Libraries also with the above information.
> 4. Local Researchers, detailing specialisation in this region; details
> and fees.
> 5. Members Interests.
> 6. Lookups relating to this region.
> 7. Your suggestions.
> Also it would help the group if some uniform SUBJECT LINE could be agreed
to
> from the start so that all members will not overlook information of
> interest. I have an idea, but it is really up to the group. I will
suggest
> the following only so that debate can take place:
> LOCATION: YEAR[S]: SURNAME[S]/INTEREST.
> As I stated earlier this being a new group, with a little effort, it
could
> become the benchmark of others that follow. We at least should try.
> Want to hear your comments. Please reply through the group so that all
can
> comment.
> Hoping this is a positive move to help everyone in the future.
