An exchange of services, perhaps?

Probably like most American subscribers, I have a subscription to the
U.S. Ancestry only. Access to the rest of the world would cost twice
as much as the U.S. alone -- which is way too much for the relatively
small amount of time I would likely spend on British, Irish, French,
and German research. Oh, and Dutch. And maybe Swedish. Anyway.

I've often thought in the past that it would be useful to find someone
in the opposite situation -- A British researcher, say, who had a few
things that needed looking up in the U.S. sources. And seeing that
Hugh Watkins is British brought those thoughts back to mind.

That's as far as I'll go with this right now, but it might be
something for folks from WeRelate (and elsewhere) to think about as
they discover this discussion group. . . .
