Since nobody is busy right now, I thought I would send a couple of good research sites. Ouch! That was me being hit by all the stuff you guys just threw at me. I realize that most of you are busy with the holidays but if you can get to your computer to do a bit of research to calm down a bit (good therapy) I want to help you. Ha, Ha, Ha, Ho, Ho, Ho, Hee, Hee, Hee. Ok the eggnog is getting to me. The 1901 England and Wales census is online but a bit difficult to decipher so someone has put out a free software program to decode the thing. <http://lancslist.info> Since I am not doing research in this area, I have not tried the program but what the hey, it's free. A list of U.S. city directories can be found at <http://www.uscitydirectories.com> This tells you where they are located. Rootsweb has a death index which is regularly being added to. <http://userdb.rootsweb.com/deaths/> The latest records added are from Idaho and Illinois, but they have new records being added all the time. This one is good to revisit at least once a month. Bette
