I am forwarding the following information to my mailing lists as many of us
have roots going back to UK. I just checked the Tree Tops web site and it
all looks legit.
TREE TOPS FAMILY TREE QUERY SERVICE:
The idea is to send your FAMILY TREE QUERY of no more than 40 words which
must include a postal address, and it will go on the television screen on
Sky News fastext for one week and be seen all over the UK, Ireland and
Europe. This is a FREE service and you do not need to have the facility
to use it.
At the end of each month a copy of the un-edited version of the queries
are in the TREE TOPS GENEALOGICAL JOURNAL which also contains other bits
of information and useful titbits. This is available for sale each month
and is bought by researchers in many other countries so once your message
has gone on screen you do get 'passed around' a bit.
The 2nd FREE service is called 'WE'LL MEET AGAIN" which is also a query
service but more for the living, old pals, war buddies, 20c descendants
etc. Again 40 words, there is no Print out for this service.
All queries for the above two services to be sent to:-
tree.tops(a)virgin.net putting TREE TOPS QUERY on the message line
or by snail mail to P.O. BOX 116, SWINDON, WILTS SN3 2SX, ENGLAND
No limit to the number of queries you can send but you will only get ONE
on per week.
The 3rd FREE service is a similar service for those who have Canadian
research. This is run by Mary in Canada and is called MAPLE LEAF QUERIES.
Maple Leaf is a similar service for those who have Canadian research.
Send your query and it will go on our web page for one month and can be
seen by any surfers of the net. Mary says please BE SURE TO INCLUDE
DATES AND remember that Canada is a very large country. Please PROVIDE A
LOCATION, A PROVINCE AT MINIMUM, if at all possible.
Send to:- traces(a)cadvision.com putting MAPLE LEAF QUERY on the
message line.
Mary also has PUBLICATIONS and holds indexes, which are ongoing,
referring to immigration (CANADIAN BORDER ENTRY LISTS, 1908-1918; PRE
1865 PASSENGER LISTS FROM NEWSPAPERS), and has started an index for
ALBERTA RESEARCHERS called: SOUTH WEST ALBERTA GENEALOGICAL INDEX. All
searches are FREE; SMALL CHARGE for references.
Check our web page for more information.
