Tony & Janette Birch explain how we can add our own surnames to the EWGS website.
Tony and Janette Birch have been supporters and helpers for EWGS for several years and (bless them!) they are still willing to participate. And they continue to be the official greeters (complete with purple badges) at our meetings.
Tony and Janette used to collect from EWGS members information on what surnames, along with dates and locations, that they were researching. They would then enter that data into our www.EWGSI.org website.
Now we have a new development! YOU can directly add YOUR OWN surname information to our website. Janette sent the instructions for doing so:
When dealing with those pesky brick walls you need every trick in the book to take down that wall brick by brick. One handy trick is to go to www.EWGSI.org and click on Members Only, put in your Login Name and Password then click on Surname Research to look for family surnames. If you haven't yet put in your family surnames then please share and put them in. Directions are easy to follow. Others will also be looking for their family surnames and may come across a family name that they have in common with you and can contact you with information. If you're not a member then go to www.EWGSI.org and click on Join Us to become a member and be able to access all our website information, including over 600 surnames. One of them may be yours.
Thanks, Tony and Janette!
