Thanks Delia
Not quite sure what you mean by "the list archive" though. Have found the
S.A.Immigrants British @ Rootsweb but only back as far as March 2002 and you
mention that St Helena was discussed "a few years ago". I'm new to this so
easily confused!! One of my maternal ancestors was a Govenor of St Helena in
the 1800's unfortunately we don't know the first name but surname was either
PRITCHARD or RANDALL. Hence my interest.
Regards
Michele
