E = Early, M = Mid, L = Late and Any = all time periods.
- Use a separate line on the form for each Name and Location, as shown in the following example;

Please remember that by publishing your interests you start a two-way process, which means that you are just as likely to give information to someone else as to be given any yourself. Please therefore give all dates and locations researched for each family listed.
Members of the Society should get in touch with another directly if they seem to be working on the same ancestral line, enclosing a SAE. If you wish to write to the Members' Interests Co-ordinator (whose address is given on the form, and in the Society's Journal), please remember to enclose a stamped self-addressed envelope for reply. If you are writing from abroad and have no access to UK current stamps of the correct value, please enclose two International Reply Coupons.
