SIT: / DBSIG: Is it ok to contact people?
« on: Saturday 07 October 06 21:12 BST (UK) »
I've noticed a couple of people looking for the same surname as me, in the same area, is it ok to contact them? I'm sorry if this is a silly question but I'm not sure how it all works.

Thank you :) I wasn't sure if it was ok.

BTW, I noticed you have the name Barnes listed below your post - I don't suppose any have turned up in Nottinghamshire? I have an Ann Barnes of Farndon who married a Thomas John Toder at Bingham on February 19th, 1736 or 7.
