Thanks Joy will take a look

http://cornwall-opc.org/index.htm My husband is one of the online parish clerks. :-)

Phoenix / Brenda / the Abbess / one of the Cats :-) BRB

Joy - do I just google OPC Cornwall or do you know a web address By the way do you know if we have been formally introduced to Phoenix ??

Before I go (I've said that before!!) - Have you looked at the OPC site for Cornwall, Ann?

Well Sue - talked me into it - as you say its your thread lol Actually went back two more generations today - now in Cornwall 1753 but stuck again as where to go next Long way from here lol Does your new book suggest anything for that sort of era ??

............ or '' Abbess Foughil of Cannonleigh'' Goodnight :-)

Ooooohhh Ann.. come back....x..... you should know by now, my threads meander er like a bubbling brook [ there Joan... bit of poetry too !] No thread [well mine anyway] should be serious all the way through.... i spend all day at work being serious !!! wave at who you want, blow kisses... say hello ..... whatever... i dont care..... lol. By the way Ann.... this book is far too heavy for me to post to you when i have finished with it... the postage would be more than the cost of the book ! Phoenix.... have we met before ?? Or have you just changed names perhaps ?? Sue .... happily on 5 days holiday now... or have i already mentioned that, pmsl ! xxx

That told me then - I'll change threads now

Yes, thank you, Ann. Very good, Brenda - you did it. Ooh, you're on gen. :-)

I've got a copy of Ancestral Trails..... used mainly as a doorstop. I tried to read the chapter on civil registration and fell asleep. The chapter on merchant seamen seemed to be largely lifted straight from Chris & Michael Watts book. It's very old now, but Terrick Fitzhugh's book (Dictionary of Genealogy?) is much more heavily thumbed for the occasions when I'm not at the computer. (Trying, and probably failing, to pull this thread back to the subject of the title!)

Hi Joy you ok ??

Hello Ann! Nice to see you :-)..... yes, Fridays / Saturdays, too........ sigh

Hi Girls Why is it so quiet on the boards these days I've only been watching and waiting past week or so but nothing seems to be happening Where is everybody ??????????

Hi Maz.... i have been flicking through it today.. there is soooo much info in there ! Still amazed how heavy it is..... felt like a hod carrier carrying it home, [but i could not find one..... ] lol. Sue x

Then there's the Genealogical Services Directory and the Course of Irish History. Excuse me, there's a young gentleman drinking alone in my do you think thread :-)

yes I had it for my birthday a couple of years ago - lovely book! soooo useful! Maz. XX

I've never like odd number Joy and odd pages are even worse! :-) I'm reading Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (not the model!). I've only read the first few pages so I can't say yet whether I'll get into it. Have you got a book on at the mo Joanie? What do you like to read?

Is it another Bills and Moon Jeanette...... they are soooo sad, i always get too involved with the characters.... then cry a lot.... Sue ;-0

odd pages oh dear
