Hello all list members,
This message is to introduce myself as the new list administrator
First of all, I must thank Yvonne for her administration of the Gwynedd
lists. She will be a hard act to follow, and if I succeed in running the
lists just half as well as she has done, I will be well pleased.
I am mainly a Meirionnydd man, born in Barmouth and raised in Dolgellau, I
have family connections in Caernarfon, Denbighshire, Montgomeryshire,
Glamorgan, and Salop, the only area of Gwynedd of which I have little
knowledge is Anglesey. I hope, through the administration of the Gwynedd
lists to make up for that shortfall.
I have some experience in list administration as I am also the administrator
for the GWREIDDIAU Welsh language list and the BETTON surname list. I also
have responsibility for the BETTON, GRIFFITHS and HUMPHREYS surname message
boards at
Ancestry.com
From my own list memberships, I know that different list
administrators have
different styles of management, my own style is laid back! I
let the members
run the lists and I’ll only put my foot down if things start getting out of
control.
I have a positive dislike of lists which encourage “studbook genealogy” so I
will welcome any contributions which discuss the language, customs, food,
dress, entertainment, etc. of our recent or distant ancestors as long as they
are somehow pertinent to the lists.
I hope that, despite the admin changes, that you all continue to enjoy and
continue to contribute to the lists.
All the best
Alwyn
