> A matching surname isn't much good if they lived in another town. That's
> why I group submitted surnames by town, and display them as e-mail links
> to contact the submitter. If every genealogist would submit his/her
> surnames to the site, some would find connections and, with those, cousins
> by the dozens.
>
> One option is to set up a new e-mail address with an autoresponder giving
> basic information and details for further contact, and use that e-mail
> address in the on-line surname submission form. The submitter can also
> upload a GEDCOM file onto his/her website and use the URL instead of an
> e-mail address, since the GEDCOM file has contact information embedded in
> it.
>
> If any members of your list have genealogy sites related to a specific
> geographic area, they can request a link at linkrequest(a)surnamesbytown.com

> Thanks for your time.
