    20C here in The Midlands yesterday, raining today. We haven't had rain for ages.

    Glad you enjoyed your half-Christmas. Good idea to celebrate during your winter as you are used to winter Christmases.
    Hope your power loss was a one off.

    We are heading there tomorrow to celebrate our grandson's 18th birthday. We are packing our winter woolies. BTW, "Christmas in July" is hugely popular in NSW and many charity organisations use these celebrations as a fund raising opportunity.

    Lots of rain on the way - hence the newsletter!

    It reached Aberdeen a while ago. And we didn't get the super-hot weather either. Still, if you want temps in the high 20s you don't settle in NE Scotland.

    Nor, it seems - this year at least - in eastern Finland!

    Hi Everyone!

    Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
    • 202 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 6,293 new entries have been added and
    • 280 relatives have been matched.
    All numbers up on the last 2 weeks (these figures are for 2 weeks), so well done to all members who are adding their relatives.

    I've been using FTAnalyzer to list all the people I can add. What method do you use?

    New Members mean New Entries, and New Entries mean New Matches. Have you referred someone to Lost Cousins yet?

    Good Luck Everyone!

    Hi Everyone!

    Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
    • 116 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 2,133 new entries have been added and
    • 212 relatives have been matched.
    Only one number down this week, which was relatives added. But the matches went up! And 116 new members in one week is a great reflection on Peter and his Newsletters.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    Hi Red, are you on holiday, or are the figures so bad that you couldn't bear to tell us about them?

    Hi Peter,

    Yes, was away with work for the 1st week, then had a long weekend away for this last weekend, so I'll do a 3 week one this week. Haven't looked at the numbers but I'm sure they will be good :)

    • 32 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 1,321 new entries have been added and
    • 253 relatives have been matched.

    A nice set of figures. The ratio of new entries to matches for this week was 5.2, which means on average every 5th person added made a match.

    Hi Everyone!

    Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
    • 42 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 1,967 new entries have been added and
    • 42 relatives have been matched.
    Bit of a quiet week, maybe people have been taking advantage of the Free weekend and have been collecting relatives and will add the records in the upcoming weeks?
    But remember, more new members means more entries and more matches. Take advantage of the referral on the Lost Cousins site and get your new contacts to join.

    Good Luck Everyone!

    The good news is that we've just passed the 6% mark - more than 6 in 100 of all the people recorded in the 1881 England & Wales census have now been entered by at least one member. Well done, everyone!

    Hi Everyone!

    Here's a weekly update on how well people have been doing over at LostCousins.
    • 57 new members joined the LostCousins site
    • 2,668 new entries have been added and
    • 109 relatives have been matched.
    New Members continues to rise, great job Peter and New Entries increased as well.

    I've been using FTAnalyzer to list all the errors that have crept into my tree, and used the Children Status field and the GRO lookup to find all the children who where born and died between censuses.

    My Match Potenial went up .4 this week, how about everyone else?

    Good Luck Everyone!
