Not looking for Nyora information, but this post made me wonder about those of us
who have this type of information.

Some time ago I posted that I had a couple of books and lists relating to Bothwell in
Tasmania that I was willing to look up if required.

After a short time, that offer plus this one from Alan disappears from the group and
newcomers do not know this information is available.

I was wondering whether there was anywhere any of us with this type of information
could register or list what we have that we are willing to share, so that newcomers
could then be directed to look at this information and contact those they feel might
be able to help.

If there isn't anywhere, is it feasible or not to set something up?
