I recently came across a site where a newsletter is published four times a month (average). It is written by a Rob Thompson, consisting a review of new books and CDs, exchange of views, website reviews, certificate exchange, updated info on Genfair, upcoming events and news on Genuki. The newsletter started March 2000 and I think its worth wading thru leisurely. I have emailed Rob and he has given permission to advertise his newsletter. The site is http://archives(.)rootsweb(.)com/th/index/UK-FAMILYHISTORYNEWS It certainly retains my interest, give it a look over, let me know what you think. Derek in France

I think it's archiver, not archives. Off to try it myself. Hi Derek. When I have time, it definitely is worth reading. Thank you! (Supposed to be pulling weeds so we can put up a new fence. Better get back outside.)
