Hi Sonia:

Question 1:

Let me follow my standard (perhaps annoying, but nevertheless
intended to be helpful) practice of responding with the answer to a
more general question:

GENUKI (the UK & Ireland Genealogical Information Service) provides a
page via which you can readily find out, for each county of the UK
and Ireland, what mailing list(s) exist. This is at:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/MailingLists.html

Incidentally, GENUKI also provides a page via which you can similarly
find out what surnames listings exist (i.e. listings of who is
researching what surnames in a particular county or region). This is
at:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/indexes/SurnamesLists.html

And you can find the web sites of the various family history
societies via a listing provided at:

http://www.genuki.org.uk/Societies/

Question 2:

There is a listing of all Devon parishes indiicationg which ones have
OPCs in http://www.cs.ncl.ac.uk/genuki/DEV/OPCproject.html - I leave
you to do the calculation! :-)


Cheers

Brian Randell
