For the Mac users-- Today I received at least three messages from Ancestry.com that they are releasing the 1920 census for Manhatten and Brooklyn on CD and that a ***Mac*** version is available. This is a first and to a lot of us a big breakthrough. They state that this is a trial run and if there is a good response they will widen the number of CDs available in a Mac version. Given the attitude of the genealogy community at large towards the Mac this is something new. If you can use this buy a copy and encourage them to do more. Ray -- See ya, --Ray B.

Guy (or any other expert!) I successfully followed the instructions on your website for installing the 1881 LDS Census onto my hard disk (thankyou!), and am **fairly** happy with the results. If I start with a search on the National Index, and then double click a name from the results, I get the Census detail in a fraction of a second. That's all fantastic. BUT - if I use the 'back' button on the Viewer toolbar, or click the National Index tab to try to get the results list back the software seems to 'hang' or 'freeze' temporarily. After about 20 seconds pause the National Index tab appears but with a blank screen, and after another 20 seconds or so the previous results list appears. I also get similar freezes when printing. Do you experience this issue?? Is it a consequence of using the NETWORK option in Viewer? If I'm stuck with this problem - thinking laterally - is there a quicker way to return to the start point of a National Index search?? At the moment I find it quicker to shut the Viewer down and re-run!! FWIW my PC is only a few months old, has plenty of resources free and I am computer literate (I am a PC programmer) but this has me baffled.

I thought some readers might be really interested in these wonderul publications by the Library of the Church of Ireland. Publications like these really serserve our support. Cheers everyone, Steven Smyrl --------------------------------------------- REGISTER OF THE PARISH OF LEIXLIP, CO. KILDARE 1665-1778 Edited by Suzanne Pegley Published by the Representative Church Body Library, Dublin, 2001 Between 1906 and 1915 the Parish Register Society of Dublin published twelve volumes of Church of Ireland parish registers, mainly, but not exclusively, from the city and county of Dublin. This work was taken over, in 1920, by the Association for the Preservation of the Memorials of the Dead which published extracts from parish registers in its Journal until 1934. In 1994 the Representative Church Body Library, which is the Church of Ireland's principal repository for its archives and manuscripts, began a new programme of publication. This register is the seventh volume in this series. Few Church of Ireland registers with entries from the second half of the seventeenth century have survived and those which are extant are mostly from parishes in the larger towns and cities, especially Cork and Dublin. The Leixlip register, by contrast, casts light on the composition of a small rural community in Co. Kildare. The inclusion in the register of some vestry minutes provides additional insights into the life of the parish. ______________________________________________________________ Register of the Parish of Leixlip, Co.

Keith Mosley <keith.mosley@btinternet.com> pressed random keys until the following was produced: > I think for occasional use it would be OK but if you were a regular user > investing in a full size fiche reader would be a better bet. I've got two fiche viewers, one desktop model (that I never use), and the other actually folds up into a briefcase-looking thing. Very heavy (VERY heavy), but can read two fiches at once, has high and low magnification, and works great. Perhaps a portable, yet not handheld, fiche viewer would be something to watch out for. Haven't watched eBay for them, but it is possible to set up an "agent" that will watch for keywords, and email you if something goes up for auction. Dave Hinz

I tried one out at the Bracknell Family History Fair on Sunday. Seemed a good idea to me, but the fiche they were using was typewritten, ie sharp and clear. One of the advantages of the extra magnification available is when the fiche is blurred and handwritten. I find it useful to be able to follow the writing on the fiche reader screen. The obvious advantage is portability, but you have to hold it up to the light which might get a bit tiresome if you had lots of fiches to look at. I think for occasional use it would be OK but if you were a regular user investing in a full size fiche reader would be a better bet. I didn't buy one. Keith Mosley

Hi I am interested to find out if anyone has any experience of using hand held fiche viewers as opposed to the full screen type. At the moment I find it hard to justify the cost of the full screen one at 40x resolution but am wondering if the hand held at 20x resolution is going to be ok. Would be pleased to hear any comment.
