Welcome to the 'BIG Beat', a new format which replaces the BIG Alerts, not quite a newsletter really but somewhere in between. There'll be no real set schedule for them either, as with most things I do around here, it gets done when it gets done. It will however be a bit more than quarterly but it won't be weekly either. The BIG Alerts have evolved into a ticker on the main BIG web page and will be reserved for things that are of an important nature such as the first one I have running now, the "The 16th Michigan Boniface Reunion 31 Jul 2005 ". Yes! This reunion is fast approaching, if your in the area in Michigan check out.
We welcome BIG's newest members who are 212. Sylvia Batman from AUS & 213. Grahame Appleby from the UK.
What I tend to do is add new members right away to the plain list on the main site here and then when I get some time I add them officially to the members area with their own page for their main line. One of the important reasons for this is to give them a members number right away so I don't forget them. I then compare that plain list with the members area list so I know who I have to add.
Mary Ghrist provided details of three certificates she now has, added them to the Members Document List.
The 'Members Document List' is a written list of documents that a member has, the documents themselves on not on the site.
The point of this is to save members money by not buying documents that one of the members already has.
Julian Boniface provides a hand drawn family tree copied from one that was drawn on brown paper, added to the Document Gallery.
Martin Gardiner provides a memorial card for a Philip Boniface who died in 1897, added to the Document Gallery.
Hadrian provides the following, two documents that show some Apprentices of Great Britain (1710-74), added to the Document Gallery.
Two small databases, Boniface in 1861 census (LON, MDX, SRY & KEN) and Boniface marriages 1984-2000 (England & Wales) in Excel format,
added to the Database section.
Database Search Engine with living people in it?
It's only a US database but if your from there you should check to see if your in it. http://www.zabasearch.com/
Health & Your Family Tree. http://www.hhs.gov/familyhistory
(I haven't had time to check this out but if someone has been there, done that, let me know what it's all about.)
The 1911 Canadian Census is online, it's only searchable by location though not by name http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/1911/006003-100.01-e.html
Can't find the records for your area of interest? A search of the LAC database of Post Offices and Postmasters may be helpful in finding out what schedule to look for. This database is located at

I still have oodles of Gmail invites and as far as I know this is the only way now to get an email account from there.

I subscribe to a fair number of newsletters, ezines and mailing lists, (nowhere near as many as my better 'alf I might add) but I have my favourites.
Here's the short list:
My most favourite is the Langa List
So much so that I subscribe to the paid version but I would highly recommend the free version.
This a picture of the inside cover of something interesting I found at my mothers house. The book itself seems to be a little handbook that Royal Sussex Regiment personel might have gotten when they first signed up perhaps? Has the history of the regiment. Bottom of the right hand page is my ancestor, J Boniface (R.S.M) being John 'Jack' Boniface my Grandfather Albert's Brother. I have a second page that was written by my grandfather that lists the ships he was on and the places he went or served probably. I have installed them both in our Document Gallery in the members area because of the other names, although not Boniface's, they may show up in other peoples lines. Another important point is that even after doing the family tree for 20+ years now I still discover new things from family. Point being, keep talking to them.

If you run across other small Boniface entries/extracts during your research and surfing please send them to me. I plan to make a web page for them all eventually.
This newsletter is a one person enterprise, at the moment that is, and selfishly published to mainly keep my inbox under control.
If anyone has anything to share, publicly as opposed to members area content for this newsletter please feel free to do so. Send it to me at severitt@monarch.net
Also, if you find any errors email me too.
As far as reprinting/quoting anything from this newsletter I have no problem but do provide a link/credit to show where you got it from
