WHAT IT IS . . . The West Indies Surname Interests List is a
list of West Indian surnames of interest to researchers with e-mail
capabilities. The List is organized by West Indian country. There
is no charge for submitting or subscribing. The Surname List is
distributed to subscribers by e-mail. The last issue contained
4,016 surnames entries from 702 researchers covering 39 West Indian
countries. The last issue can be downloaded or searched from my
Web site:
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vroyal.

SUBSCRIBE BY E-MAIL OR WEB PAGE . . . Since the West Indies
Surname Interests List is a big document to receive by e-mail (more
than 150 printed pages), you also have the option to retrieve or
view it from my web page
(http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/vroyal). If you choose
the web page option, you will still receive e-mail messages from me
telling you when new issues of the Surname List are available on
the web page. If you are a new subscriber or an existing
subscriber who wants to convert to web page subscription, send me
an e-mail message saying "subscribe web page".

IF YOU PREVIOUSLY SUBMITTED SURNAMES . . . you do not need to
resubmit them for Issue No. 11. They will continue to appear as
long as you have a working e-mail address. You may, of course,
submit more surnames, modify your existing surname entries, or
change your e-mail address, if you wish.

HOW TO SUBMIT. Send me a message (Vaughn Royal,
vro...@compuserve.com) including:

1. Your name;
2. Your e-mail address (one only, please);
3. Your location (city, state/province/parish and country); and
4. For each surname you are researching:
a. Surname (including spelling variations);
b. West Indian country (if not known, you may use "West
Indies");
c. Locality in which surname is of interest, if known (e.g.,
parish, county, department, region, etc.); and
d. The time frame for which you have information (limited to
12 characters; please be concise).
5. Subscription method: Either "Subscribe E-Mail" (meaning you
want to automatically receive issues of the Surname List by e-
mail) or "Subscribe Web Page" (meaning you will retrieve
issues of the Surname List from my web page). If you do not
specify, I will assume you want an e-mail subscription.

You may submit as many surnames as you like. Recognizing the fact
that e-mail is not perfect, if you do not receive a confirmation
message from me within five days, send your submission message
again.

ISSUE NO. 11 SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Please e-mail your surname
submissions to me so that they are received not later than
November 19, 1997. Issue No. 11 will be sent to e-mail
subscribers and available on my web page on or about November 22,
1997.
