Thanks Judy. For convenient clicking the active link is

It may not survive Ancestry's absorption of rootsweb for very long.

Edited to add: The Wayback Machine has it archived here.

Congratulations Tidbid with a WW thank you Judy for sharing this

Will this wonderful information on Rootsweb disappear at the end of April 2023. Is there a way we can preserve it on WikiTree?

thanks Judy, nice little collection.  The blurb at the beginning on where dit names come from is incomplete, she missed the military side of things, but the name variations lists are good, give lots of choices and dit names too.
