I've just added a bit at the bottom in the Reasearch Names or Interests  part of my Profile. Would it make it more visible if we all did that?

Good work Gadget  ;D

I'm afraid I just believe that the more sites I deposit my surnames on, the more likely I am to get a contact that is fruitful and so far it has worked on more than one occasion from this website and others.

Hi,

I always go back and check interests table as I uncover more info.

As I am relatively new to researching, everytime I find a new name eg. in a side branch, I search that name for postings in the county they are from.

Example;   Leggett, Great Yarmouth , Norfolk

 Great grandfather William Leggett (1842- ) had a sister who
 married a Frederick Riches Delf, so search all Norfolk postings for the name Delf and Riches ( probably his Mothers maiden name)

You never know your luck ;D

After reading these posts i added a couple more surnames to my SIT list  and then  i did a 'search' for surnames. in the A--Z list. However, in the "O" section it tells me there were no "O" surnames listed -----Well i have 2 on my SIT list--Ostler & Oakley but they don't appear in the A--Z choice. It stated--No entries for 'O'  ??? Poli.

Polidor,

Surname Summary (This table is updated automatically at Midnight, U.K. Time)
Let me know if they are (still) not there tomorrow ....

Just checked, another "well, nobody told me ..."  ;D
I'll look into it.

Funny that, O and N decided to take a sunday break ......

So I cracked the whip and told them to get busy  ;D
If I'd done nothing, they would have appeared for work at midnight :(

Should be OK now :)
