Yorkshire Surname List Submissions
GENUKI Home page Kindly read the instructions carefully and right through to the end, BEFORE using the form.

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 towards the end of the month.  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 follow the instructions, your submission may be ignored by the software.

Changing Your Information

There is no form for changing information. I will happy to do so for you; just send me an email to YKSlist@YorkshireCDbooks.com. and please don't forget to include the following details:

  1. Name(s) affected
  2. Your name and email AS IT APPEARS on your original submission
  3. Your NEW name or email address if this is what you are changing
  4. Any dates, locations and other details you would like me to add or remove.

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 YKSlist@YorkshireCDbooks.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/
