I agree - it's useful to know where people are from. I've felt an idiot in the past, explaining some piece of Welsh geography only to find that the poster lives a lot nearer to the place than I do :)

Hi Wendi,  :)

Mission accomplished!!
I quite agree Gareth, in an ideal world we would check the profile  ..  ..  Only I rarely do!  :-\
For some reason though with yours I didn't have to, wonder why?

Garethboxing .... in the land of Our Fathers, can't understand why they are not singing it from the highest hilltops, but my plea is still

Must agree with Gareth - nothing like suggesting someone visit the NSW Sydney archives when they live in Scotland  :D - I initially only put the country, but added the state when I found it was often very  useful knowing which state/county other researchers came from.

I so agree with you Trish, I once suggested to someone who emailed me from my website for information on a part of my family, that they visit the Surrey History Centre.

The answer came back, I'm in California!!!  :o :o So when emailing people now I always just add where I am from, it really helps.
