I understand that the NORTHEAST area (UK) may not be an area / subject
you
cover on your list but many families were always travelling around the
world
from one port to another and maybe some members on your list may have
links
here. If we can help one person from your list then this whole project
would
be well worth the time and effort we are putting into it.
The 2 new sections, which will come under the heading "INFORMATION
EXCHANGE"
will have 2 sub categories:-
(1) "FIND A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER" This section is designed to help
both
members of mailing lists and members of the public. Messages will be
posted
in the hope of locating a family member or friend who may either, once
lived
in the Northeast, or hold vital information which would be useful to
list
members. The difference with this section is that most mailing lists do
not
allow its members to post messages about living people, although I know
many
people that have found relatives, family members, and lost cousin's they
didn't know they had - through other sites and after much time spent on
different sites etc.
(2) "LOOKING FOR GENEALOGY INFORMATION" section is designed to help
those
people who don't have access to a computer but who are interested in
Genealogy and will be mostly done through the media. This will help both
them and the members of other mailing lists that have an interest in the
North East of England. There will be a special fax and answer phone
service
available. (-- Fax Number 07050 600 878 -- Answer Phone 07050 600 877
where
members of the public can contact me and I will arrange for their
message to
be placed in our special sections on our web site.
Please feel free and visit our site, or, you may be interested in
joining
our Site Ring to let other members know about your list. Our web site
address is located at:-
http://uk-northeast.com
We need your help & cooperation to get this project off to a good start.
Please forwarded it to your members. It will be much appreciated.
Thank you for your time
Stephen
