Not that I really mind, but I am being bombarded(well, at least six so far) with enquiries from people searching Free BMD records and finding my E.mail address under the "info" box and thinking that I may be personally interested in their family histories. It must be very disappointing to them when I advise them of my simple transcriber role. I have completed over 270000 entries so far, so how many more enquiries can I expect I wonder. I think a clearer explanation should be given for the "info" info' to prevent fruitltess approaches. John Renner -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
