E-mail is the best way to reach me and I'm very happy to correspond with others who are interested in geneology and, even more, family histories. Please do drop me a note! If you've reached this page hoping to contact any of the other researchers I've mentioned, I will be happy to pass your initial e-mail on to them, so they can then engage in conversation at their option.
In the past, I used to try to make this as simple as possible by providing a simple "mailto:" style of link that would launch your default e-mail client with my e-mail address conveniently already placed in the "To:" field. Alas, this has been widely abused by the various robotic e-mail address harvesters that trawl the web and I've finally decided, after years of far too much spam, to try to reduce this somewhat by posting my address in a non-standard fashion, in the hope of foiling robots looking for clearly-posted addresses. My apologies for the inconvenience.
All human readers, please note: I do NOT authorize you to add this e-mail address to any mailing list of any kind, and please do not include it in any multiple-recipient e-mail that exposes the e-mail addresses of all the recipients. I use this address only for correspondence concerning this site, its topics and its contents; all other e-mail will be deleted without being read. Thanks for honoring this request. If you know of an e-mail list you think I should join, please let me know, and I'll join with another address I use for the purpose.
OK -- with that out of the way...
I can be reached at "ofl_topics" at this site's domain.
(For example, if I had said 'at "newname" at www.examples.org's domain', that would translate to newname@examples.org.)
I do hope to hear from you!
