Hi Pat Lucky you just 3KM. I have been doing an 80KM round trip for 20+years now and I am one of the nearer researchers. Hopefully the fiche have been sent to a main center so it would not take too long to reorder them at another center, although that would mean paying again. Good luck Regards Marg NSW ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patricia" <klausdach@optusnet.com.au> To: <gloucester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 20, 2007 10:53 PM Subject: Re: [GLS] Fwd: Request for Help Please > Thanks Marg., Yes I know but Moorabbin was 3kms from home and had been > going there for about 12 years - not too big., familiarity with the > volunteers and equipment and other researchers., times suited., and all > those fiche I had ordered over the years and had been retained for reuse > now > unavailable - spoilt I guess even the volunteers were bitterly > disappointed.
