Great, now I know what to do and I'm going to go check my unlabeled box right now.  Really, though, someone ought to edit that section of the help page.  As it is, it is unhelpful to the max.

I'm glad it has been solved for you, Erato.
I don't like the email notifications either, and have unchecked the box. However I still have the "unnotify" button on the threads I've replied to.  ???
Back on the original topic, I have the name Sharpclift, which while not sounding unusual, has virtually no hits anywhere in searches. I have wondered if the name has died out, as some do.
I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

I seem to have unknown generations of Italian ancestors by the name of Ditto. They come from a village of the same name.

 ;D Martin, can you elaborate please?

I've thought about the reason but not sure I'm correct...I'm intrigued.

I think you should try this button now...Report to moderator with an explanation?

I don't have email notifications but I see the 'Unnotify' button on all topics, well at least the ones I've read since reading your dilemma.
