I often contact people re my one-name study. Either on GR or by Google
I usually say something like,"I am carrying out a one-name study etc. If you would like to join contact me for the password".
I have directed them to my site where they can see the home page.
Of those that reply 90% will have either opened their tree or say something like, "I only have 4 Brewertons etc"
The remainder say, Yes, I'd love to have access to your site but do not open their tree or give any info.
I then go down the route of show me yours and then I'll show you mine.
I want to devise a small statement which gets across the fact, both to those that I contact and those that contact me, which says that before I will give out any invites to the study, they have to share their info. I am so fed up with people contacting me with claims that they are going to send loads of info but when you give the password they disappear.
How does this sound?
To be written on my home page.
Welcome to the Brewerton one-name study
The information on here has either been generously given to me by others
or found by me during many hours of hard work.
The prerequisite of joining the study is that you share your names with us
so that both you and the study will benefit.
I look forward to receiving your name/names and opening the study to you.
I'm sure many of you can write a better statement than that?
