Mike,
I am a moonraker.. (although my ancestors are from Dorset .. Its
close enough just in case !! :)) ) .. I enjoy the list .. thanks.
We are runnig an IRC session for UK genealogists which I think your
list may be interested in .. not in competition with your own .. we want
to supplement Internet Genealogy, its all about helping others of which
your list and pages are a prime example :))
Do you mind dropping this on your list !! :))
I would like to let all UK researchers know that we are hosting a UK
genealogy Chat session every Tuesday Evening from 20:00 GMT which is 9
pm current UK time (BST).
These sessions will allow people researching UK to discuss
things in a friendly interactive session. You can put up who you are
researching, where, any interests you have and see if others bite of
discuss them with you.
The idea is to help each other in our research.. discuss any
area of genealogy you like, maybe someone there will be able to help you
with that 'little genealogical' problem you have :)) who hasn't got one
of those:))
These sessions are a great way to Get further information and would
work alongisde a list such as this. A chance to discuss some of the
issues interactively.
We are willing to host ANY genealogy meetings so if you want to
supplment your moonrakers sessions just let us know !!
What is it ?? How do I get there ??
It is Internet Relay Chat, something that most people have
access to but not many use. It is a great part of the internet. I am the
Team Leader for the IIGS IRC channel, our aim being to supplement
International Internet Genealogy by allow anyone to have their own chat
meetings.
