The easiest way to make surname connections with other members is to enter
your surname interests
in the
Surname Interests Table (SIT), and to check there whether others are researching these names.
This can be found at
http://surname.rootschat.com/ , there is a link to it at the top of each Rootschat page.
The more people who enter their surnames, the more chance there will be of making a connection!
