Tony,

Perhaps you can allow people in the Netherlands also to read messages and
(hopefully) give some answers.

Good luck with the group, I hope it will work.

A group like this will depend on information given by either the films
made by the mormons or from dutch researchers themselves. So I don't
think that Tony will give you any problem in subscribing as a volunteer
to answer. I do think that he means that it is *not* the purpose of this
group to ask for research in the States, just for extra possibillities
for some living in North America to research their European ancestors.

Richard,

Tony mailed me outside this list with just about that answer. I sorta kew

Cheers,
Richard
