----- Original Message ----- From: "Charani" <familyhunter@family-hunter.co.uk> Certs aren't allowed to be downloadable online or by email and won't be until an Act of Parliament allows them to be *but* for firms who do such jobs as in Heir Hunters, insurance companies, etc, it is possible for them to access the information online. Typical...just out luck. Thus such firms do have the access they claim but it's very misleading for family historians and genealogists who'd love to be able to do the same. Only those who have a legitimate reason for requiring the data can sign up for it and the fee is quite steep. Family history doesn't count. We are just as legit. We are heir hunters:-) Liz www.btinternet.com/~e.newbery OPC for Street, Somerset

I don't normally watch the programme at all but I'll make an exception because I have some CLIMPSONs, not close enough to lay any claims though :)) -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Greinton and Clutton, SOM Asst OPC for Ashcott and Shapwick, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
