you'll hopefully find a whole bunch of people researching the name, or even specific family. Also, Genforum sites and forums usually have spaces to *1eave (sorry, my e11 just f1ew off and I can't find it) 1eave your surname interest and hook up with 1ike-minded researchers ... just goog1e genforum and the 1ocation. Rootsweb forums are a good resource, too. Both Genforum and Rootsweb have mai1ing 1ists too, I think. I haven't been on them for awhi1e but the forums at any genea1ogica1 site are most1y where I found my best 1eads.

Here are a few links that might help you:
