Hi - I have just joined, I am researching Heywood, Powell, Cripps, Fulton, Holmes, Vernon and Hollow. I have been researching on and off for about 10 years, with two young children now I don't get to do as much as I'd like.

I don't think anonymity is appropriate in this sort of group. Genealogy involves activities that deny anonymity to all those whose details we record and therefore, I think, we have to reveal something of ourselves. So members of this group need to be prepared to volunteer at least minimal information and those not prepared to do this, sadly, should choose not to belong.

I'm also against totally anonymous membership, I started off with a pseudonym but decided on using my first name and I have information in my profile. However having said that, I know a lot of people who are new to the net who are very paranoid about what they give out about themselves, could you request a little more information from them, perhaps add a note in the group description that anonymous membership is not acceptable.

Just joined and hoping some use will become of it. Can help from time to time with lookups (NBI England & Wales, 1881 British Census, AVRI, English Parish Records, 1861 Census - Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire specific records). Not able to get on line as often as I would like. Regards to all.

Geniaus thanks for your response. However my first request was to the forum and, when it was pointed out that this should be directed to a volunteer I forwarded the same request to a volunteer. I should point out that the request to the volunteer was a few months ago.

i am totally against anonomous membership. I would prefer that if psuedonym's are used the profile give some name either christian suename or maiden name.
When you look at it Genealogy is about names. And what is the resean to hide a name on a genealogy forum????

Peter, Perhaps a direct message to the volunteer rather than a reply to a forum/discussionmay elicit a response. Unfortunately one of the issues with the software used for GenealogyWise is that messages can be easily hidden/ lost.
