I shall of course be there, as I have been for the last few years (a considerable number by now, I forget how many) and can be found on the Society of Genealogists' stand but will also be doing my usual tour of the fair greeting lots of old friends. -- Roy Stockdill Guild of One-Name Studies: www.one-name.org Newbies' Guide to Genealogy & Family History: www.genuki.org.uk/gs/Newbie.html "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about."
