Hi Brian, Firstly, I don't know if this was the mail that was trapped. It's frustrating to me that when people post and it gets rejected they don't know which post is rejected-that's the software, not me. Also sometimes we get "false positives"-things say they are trapped and then they appear on the list. As my mail is so sporadic, I end up not seeing these until the digests by which time I have sometimes told people to send again in plain text! Back to the question: In short NO ERs are NOT on line. Where they are held are patchy too. For example Salford's to about 1974 are in the local studies library and the rest are still at the Civic Centre (City Hall) or they were when I last had cause to search them. Try: Email: staff@swanlib.demon.co.uk Website: http://www.swansea.gov.uk/index.cfm?articleid=6201 Give them the details you have and ask them how much it is for a search or to give you details of a researcher who will search for you. Some libraries, if they have the time and personel, will do a free 30 minute search. Others will charge. Some won't search at all, but will give you contact details of local researchers who will. Maybe someone on this list is going to Swansea and will do a RAOGK (You could try the RAOGK website http://www.raogk.org/wales.htm and see if anyone is offering free or "for costs" look ups at Swansea library).
