Its a great idea and wish you all the best. The surname lists on Rootsweb
are so biased towards the US that they are a waste of time. A British
equivalent is what we need!

I will second that !! I am rather tired of well meaning (?) USers sending
me private messages, telling me I am looking for my ancestors in the wrong
countries (Scotland & England), that I should be looking in [i.e. Missouri]
as that is where my names originated. Or, I have mis-spelt my name -
Whyatt in the UK. One even insisted at least one of my names originated in
the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma, (which isn't even in the original area but
post 1835) not in Yorkshire England. The name is Harrison.

Good luck Rod .. I will most definately visit the new sites.

Toni.
