The YKS Surnames List

The YKS Surnames List is a free, voluntary service for everyone who is researching their family trees in Yorkshire, and Yorkshire only.  These ARE NOT MY names, so please do not ask me to do lookups or to post queries.  Either contact other researchers directly, submit your own name(s) to this list and/or post your query on one of the genealogy lists for Yorkshire.  You can find directions for these at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/.

 Your submissions are formatted and put on the list by me - they do not automatically appear on the list after you have submitted them.    New submissions and amendments to current entries will appear with the next update of the pages, usually within ten days.  Whenever possible, use the form supplied below to submit your surname(s).  The forms are checked by software, so follow the instructions carefully.  If you don't, your submission may be ignored by the software.

Email submissions

Some people have difficulty in getting the form below to accept a submission .

Some servers, such as aol and occasionally btinternet, refuse to accept the form.

This is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT as it is UP TO YOU to update all changes in your email address.   If your email bounces, all your submission(s) will be summarily deleted from the list.

Bouncing emails

Sadly, not everyone remembers to tell me when they change emails.  If you attempt to contact another researcher and the email bounces, please let me know at YKSsurnames@yahoo.com.  Please don't forget to send me the researcher's name as well as the bouncing email address.  You may also wish to post a notice to one of the Yorkshire genealogy lists in the hopes that he/she will read it and contact you directly.  You can find directions for Yorkshire genealogy lists at:  http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/
