Still merrily adding to my forebears when time permits. My total is now around tenty thousand and still growing. It takes time as I put every bit of information I can find on to my programme. My Portland line was helped by purchasing a CD from Somerset and Dorset FHS of Parish transcriptions which is by no means yet exhausted. We have also spent 9 days in Dorchester Records Office and I have several books of information still waiting to be slotted in. If I can help at all, please contact me direct at methusulah@smuggler.plus.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
