Greetings to the CANNING-L & D pages. I have just started as the
administrator for the pages. There are currently 19 subscribers to the
(L) list and 9 to the (D) list.
Anyone wanting to visit the archives to find past messages and
conversations go to the link:
http://www.archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/canning .
If each of us could sign in, letting the others know where in the world
you are and give a short query of what we are currently searching maybe
another on the list might beable to assist you.
I'm located in Norman, Oklahoma and very involved in genealogy as you
can see from my tags. I am on the board of the Oklahoma Genealogical
Society and do their look ups for people that write in with queries. I
also do contract genealogical research here in Oklahoma. For the past
20 years I've been on staff at the Zoology Department of the University
of Oklahoma where I plan to stay as long as I receive pay checks.
I'm also administrator for 2 other mail list. The MAPLYMOU-L is for
Plymouth, Massachusetts (195 L / 77 D) where I grew up before heading
west. The second is my own surname list DITTMAR (9 L ).
My CANNING connection is on my mother's side of the family.
