Living in Western Australia and trying to track down my antecedents on theinternet is proving difficult to say the least!I have back-tracked my family to WILLIAM WATKIN, born 1845 in Southwell,Nottinghamshire.
He married ELIZABETH NEWTON MOREWOOD on 21st July 1870 atEcclesall Church, Ecclesall Bierlow, Sheffield.
A witness at their wedding was aTHOMAS WATKIN, occupation "Tailor" - father or brother?I have not yet been able to get a copy of WILLIAM's Birth Certificate to confirmhis parents......and until I can get back to England to start haunting the RegistrationOffices, Parish Records, Cemeteries etc, am reliant on the internet and perhaps- with luck - someone out there whose research converges with mine. I would bevery, VERY grateful for any help!!
These boards are like messages in bottles and answers may come after some years.
A very quiet list with about 15 emails a year - bust lists can be 500 messages a month or more

ROOTS-L History
ROOTS-L started out as a LISTSERV mailing list at NDSU in late 1987. Yup, that means we just celebrated our 11th anniversary!
Anyhow, after several contented years at NDSU, in August, 1995, we moved to the then new LISTSERV at eWorld. In July of 1996, the list again moved, hopefully for the last time (this business of moving mailing lists around isn't nearly as fun as they say, trust me!), to a SmartList mailing list hosted by RootsWeb. (Not to put too fine a point on it, but that was more or less the formal start of RootsWeb.)
The other major change was due to a poll taken in early 1996, which indicated an high level of support for the screening messages, to eliminate LISTSERV commands, reposted digests, etc. So after redesigning the system we use for screening to expedite the approval of messages and protect against losing them, all ROOTS-L messages are prescreened.
