Hello all again,

I should have made this comment, I am also on the Palmer list and we
have started a Palmer web site where as the links are located at a
central point, but the gendex and other info is held at the persons
personal website.

This idea is good for "one name" collections, but wouldn't (since this
is Channel Islands) it be better to have a massive gendex or at least an
index of Channel Island names with as much info as possible?
