Indexes of witnesses to marriages that took place in the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand are being compiled. Every entry contains the names of witness, groom & bride, and the date and place of the marriage as well as the name and address of the genealogist to whose family the couple belong. The Indexes are proving to be a very useful finding aid for genealogists and searches of the index for specific surnames can be requested by post at the addresses below, or, on the Internet at hughw@xtra.co.nz.

UK Index Marianne Philson 167 Carlisle Rd Browns Bay Auckland 1310 New Zealand

The BOoks We Own List , the international genealogical look up web site continues to grow and evolve. If you haven't been there in a while, come see us at http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/. I have just set up a special form-generated page called BOoks We'd Like to own (BOWL) at http://www.rootsweb.com/~bwo/bowl.html The new page is for anyone who is looking for rare or hard-to-find genealogical resources for purchase or look ups. Users of the page will post their name, e-mail address, a thorough description of the resource they are looking for, and whether they are looking to purchase or would like a look up. BWO currently has over 470 owner/contributors and over 1,400 resources listed. The pages receive over 6,000 visits per month.
