Hi Gail and many others:- Have you checked the BHC site today???? Perry Snow has worked many long hours, some in consultation with Bryan Keddy, and I just clicked on the URL -- up popped two BROCKLEBANK people. The site BRITISH HOME CHILDREN has been linked to one of our census sites http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html Bryan Keddy and I have this site, it includes genealogy from coast-to-coast-to-coast -- Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic. One of the main problems, as Bryan found, was the size of the files. Perry has made, for example, more than one page for the "B" listings. This was one that would NOT open for me at all -- no problem this evening. Enjoy!!! If there are problems, let Perry or Bryan know what the problem is, please. Muriel M.
