Re: Clan Sinclair Website Reporter?

["Neil Sinclair/Peggy Rintoul" <rinsin@globalserve.net>]

Laurel;
Your note of this morning is heading in the right direction. There are a
number of bits of information that come every day some of specific interest
and some of general interest from historical or geographical perspectives.
Over time we are really amassing a ton of valuable information that needs to
be sorted and gathered into comprehensive summaries and references. I save a
lot of what goes through and there is a lot of interesting material that
starts linking together. You will recall the "stuff" around the Sinclair
migration to your neck of the woods spawned responses to Sinclair place
names and a whole bunch of material sifted through this. It i a small
example. I have to split but am ready to follow up further on this tomorrow.
My observation is that there are a number of passionate historians around
with specific fields of expertise and areas of concentration.  Do keep up
the good work and reach me individually if you need.
Neil Toronto PEI forever Argyll
