Hi everybody,
Do you have theatrical ancestors or have knowledge of them? Why not join
the THEATRE-UK mailing list.

Researching family history can be difficult at the best of times.
Researching ancestors who were actors, music hall performers etc. can be
a real pain! They were never in one place for very long, they changed
their names to suit themselves and very often they weren't particularly
accurate about their age.
This list is for the discussion of theatre history. The buildings, the
troupes, the actors and players, the acts and the plays. With luck you
might find the little snippet of information you need to track down your
elusive ancestor, or maybe a list-member can provide you with some
details of your ancestors career.

Regards,
Dave Jassie - List Administrator for the THEATRE-UK and the JASSIE
surname lists.
