A P.S. to my last message - why do most people put brackets around the full stop in e-mail addresses please? I didn't do so, so hope its o.k.

Hi Janet, you didn't need it round yours because it wasn't a .*com or a .*co address. Org addresses are alright. This site doesn't allow address's to be printed if you don't use the () or * You don't need brackets or * round all the d o t s in an address only the ones beside the .(co) or .(com) part! Christine

Thanks Christine - I understand (I think...) Also to anyone interested, I'm sorry I didn't give the correct address; the home page is actually on http://www.wharfegen.org.uk/newged/index.php?command=gedcom and the info is for data between 1600 and 1850. As we have some Fleshers dating from back then it was quite fascinating to find so many, neatly detailed in trees - even though I'm not yet sure which Flesher belongs to us!! Janet in France....

Just come across this one. Loogs good if your rellies came from Derbyshire. Mainly Wirksworth area but have loads of information so worth looking if you are researching Derbyshire. www(.)wirksworth(.)org(.)uk remove brackets. Would like to see more Scottish sites other than the obvious. Please. Happy hunting. Hilary.
