We want our One Name Study to be widely known: not only do we have something to offer other GRIBBLE genealogists; but we also providing a focus for the collection of useful information. So, below are listed some of the places in which we have promoted the Study:
We have also started to think about gathering data from other One Name sites and surname interest registers. This, however, remains to be completed!
We are registered with several organisation in order to promote and publicise our 'GRIBBLE hunting' efforts:
Most of these organisations also have a WebSite, so have a look at our Useful Website Links
We are also registered with some - of the many - websites that maintain surname interest listings. Many of these sites put a lot of time and effort into maintaining updates general genealogical information in addition to specific surname interests and so are well worth a visit for general help, ideas, references and so on.
We have included some links on ourUseful Website Links page so you can go to some of these sites if you wish.
Surname Interest Listings:
· The ROOTS Surname List (USA)
· Cyndi Howell's well known and extensive website
· Symbiosis
· GenServ
· Geoirge Archer's Netguide
· Chris Gaunt's Resource page
· Ancestor Home Town (LDS website)
· Barrel of Genealogical Links
Search Engines:
· General: We have submitted this site to a number of the major search engines, such as
AltaVista, HotBot, Lycos, Yahoo etc
to improve other researchers opportunities to find us.
· Genealogical: We have registered with some of the genealogical search engines:
I Found It!
Surname Rings:
· The SurnameWeb and its associated Surname Ring. This website is the Surname Resource Centre hosting the GRIBBLE name for the Surname Web.
An important factor in the long term success of the GRIBBLE One Name Study will be ensuring that all those interested - or potentially interested - in it know about it. So, we are trying to collect references to appropriate places to publicise ourselves.
In addition to the places noted above, we have pursued some additional options for promoting our presence, include:
If you have ANY suggestions or additional references which we should consider including in our data base, then PLEASE let us know by email (below) or snail-mail (on the 'Our Branch' page).
Finally, of course, you can help by promoting this site by word of mouth (and whatever its electronic analogies are!)
We are, of course, happy to share our database with other GRIBBLE researchers.
This is currently only an idea 'in the mind of God' - or in this case Jules at the moment. The basic idea is that we provide some links to other One Name Studies and Surname Interest Lists so that 'GRIBBLE hunters' can get a head start on chasing down family members with non GRIBBLE surnames.
