Joy... i am sure it is quieter now in the evenings than it used to be ! Where is everyone ?? Sue x

I say it's all getting a bit highbrow in here isn't it old chaps! lol

Yes..... and Fridays and Saturdays, too........... unless (sounds like) a and (sounds like) b turns up or the Minstrel or.............. :-) hello Jeanette!! :-)

Hi Jeanette, lol.... no i bought a book.... thats as highbrow as i get . LOL. Sue xxx

Did it have lots of pictures and big writing sue! lol You should see the size of the flippin' book I've just started.......six hundred and odd pages. I hope I can stick with it til the end!

Ohh what you reading Mrs Kipper ?? lol :0) Joan xxx

odd pages oh dear

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

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?

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

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 :-)

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

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 ??????????

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

Hi Joy you ok ??

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!)

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

That told me then - I'll change threads now

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

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