Following on from Emigration Index: http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=12131

The emigration database has been created together with a submit form. The details submitted are automatically inserted in the database at the time of the submission. Would you please submit some entries so I know it is all working correctly.

I still have to put together the search facility which I will do within the next few days. Probably I will make it so you can search by first and last name only.

Family members who emigrated at the same time can be listed in the notes section.

The submit form will only be accessible if you are logged into the forum and parish record section. You will be required to include your Username on the form and it will be displayed in the search results but your email address will not be shown. If anybody wishes to contact you they can do so by locating you in the User section of the forum and sending a message by the contact form.

We already have a Documents and Articles section on the site so the newspaper transcripts and doctor's reports relating to the voyage etc. which Chris mentioned she had can be added there, just send them to me and I will include them.

Now what are we going to do about listing all the Forest people that moved to Yorkshire and other places?
