	I keep track of messages on the http://genforum.genealogy.com/surnames forums, particularly on the Aylward, Penn, and Heywood lists, in case something on my interests is discussed.
	I also monitor the South African General Query Forum: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/SouthAfrica/General for messages local to South Africa and our South African connections.
	There is also http://genforum.genealogy.com/southafrica/ where there are always new requests for info and posts.
