Further to my last message regarding helping others looking for info in the area where you live. I think it would be better if a page could be added with all the towns and counties listed with details of those who live in that area who have the time to do the research. You could add your name to the list when you have time and remove it when you dont. Otherwise you are asking people who may live in a town but dont have the time. Also it may save all those emails to people who dont reply. I will send a message to GC to ask if they could incorporate it. Jim Mckinney

I can see where you are coming from, but wouldn't it be better if the Seeker puts the info on the Board and leaves it for those who are available and willing to Search to volunteer. If I put my name on a willing to help board I could be inundated with requests. Better that I select the ones I am capable of doing. Jim, Gosport, HAM.

Yes Jim that would probably be a better way. Yes so I could put a request in for info on my family who lived in Harrington, Cumberland. anybody who wanted to help could email me and ask what I was looking for. Excellent idea, but we would need a dedicated page. Regards Jim Mckinney Littlehampton Sussex

Jim & Jim I don't think there would need to be a separate page / list / board as people are already helping others who post on the existing boards - like yourself Jim W. Lynne Sale PS. I'm willing to help in my area if needed.
