Fletch, wish you the best. I am sure you will e-mail them a brief description of your itinerary and what your goal is. And also get the hours of operation of any place you plan (or will need) to visit. One of my uncles was over there a couple of years ago and brought back some LDS listings but they were not of much help. Wish I were going with you (at least for a month). - Rannie in Nova Scotia On Wed, 22 Mar 2000, Fletcher Blanchard wrote: > In May, I will be making a brief visit to England to search some of the early records in the PRO and the Hampshire Record Office and to attend the Annual General Meeting of the Blanc/shard Family History Society in Lincoln on 20 May. I look forward to this opportunity to maintain a cooperative relationship with the BFHS and to learn more about their collection of Blanc/shard records in England.
