Laurie, I'd just read your email on the Birkenhead list then went to read my mail in Yorksgen and see you have posted it there as well. Genealogy doesn't start in the 19th cent. it starts with the child born to-day.

Should these people not better off with the Salvation Army instead of Glogging up these sites. we cannot look at records after 1901 in general terms in England- Other countries are earlier but never, or rarely later, so can someone not put something in the rules to stop this or advise people of the reason for the Web site. I have never objected to supplying data to people that I have that is prior to 1901, some have but they also agree that the data requested is Genealogical, and tell then were to go to get the data. That said it is wrong in my opinion to be requested of who lived where and who lived where for the aforementioned dates.
