Sorry, sent to the wrong list, but if anyone here is subscribed to Wirral, the laugh is on me. Happy Sunday! Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <wightway@tiscali.co.uk> I am since reliably informed that sodium carbonate - Na2CO31OH2O - is a white crystalline that forms an alkaline solution in water solid which is used in glass making and is commonly known as washing soda. Dangerous to eyes, and if ingested. I seem to remember I might have recommended it for warts n all! Does anyone have any other thoughts on its effect? d;^) Janet ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <wightway@tiscali.co.uk> > > I agree the scenario is a dilemma that needs to be addressed. Most, if not all will have children, nieces, nephews, spouses. Someone has to go into a property when the last of the spouse has died. I think our records should be placed somewhere so that they can easily be found. We assume that our successors will be interested and I would agree that the records, if they are worth keeping should be passed on to the family history society. It does make it more important to make a Will, and leave a note about records. > Coincidentally, I live in the Isle of Wight, but my searches, most of them relate to my Scottish family. I am at the end of the line, have no sibling or spouse, and were it not for the fact that my son, adopted at birth, decided to find me, I wouldnt have anyone to pass them onto. Some might say, why search? There's a need in me, to search and find out what my ancestors left behind and almost housebound so its a hobby with a purpose for me. > I too have placed my records on CD, and I back them up frequently. I have shared them with an older husband of a second cousin, once removed. > > Janet
