Wouldn't it be great if in the future all registrations documents, references and parish registers etc etc where put on an a easy to search computer database, so you didn't have to search through hundreds of microfiches and books etc. I reckon this would make alot of people lives easier. It certainly would mine. Then all you would have to do is go to the register office etc, go on their computer and type in what you are searching for, I doubt this is ever going to happen though. Do you?????

You missed one important bit. It should all be FREE.

of course, didn't think i needed to mention that...of course it should be free what with all the taxes we pay is this country.

But surely part of the fun of it is the "chase" for all the info, frustrating though it may be at times!! Anne

I do agree there, but when you have little information it isi very very frustrating
