Running a bit late, but none-the-less welcome to Jo Prejza who has joined this week. If you haven't already contributed, we hope to hear from you soon. ****** ****** ****** Thanks to Edward for the posts forwarded last week - they crossed my weekly posts otherwise I would have responded earlier. As to the IGI - with the recognition that we would be 'lost' without it, must also come the recognition that it is only an index. Recourse to the original records to resolve issues of interpretation or omission will always be needed - for those of us overseas that means saving up the shekels for a Scottish based researcher or even more shekels for a trip to research in person. ****** ****** ****** Feel free to join in and present your own items.
