Hi Everyone, As you know I did a few look-ups at the RO last week. I got to meet Ann Barrett for the first time quite by chance so that was a nice little bonus (hello Ann , if you are reading this). I'd like to thank all those people behind the scenes who do a marvellous job week in and week out trawling indexes and other resources. On the subject of the RO, I was rather dismayed to discover that a lot of the index cards are out of numerical sequence, so I'd like to suggest that if you plan a trip to the RO and you can't find a bap - check the burials, if you can't find a marriage - check the births. It is becoming a common problem for whatever reason.. and it serves as a timely reminder to put cards back in order ! I was horrified to discover that my entire MUNDY family has disappeared altogether ! Someone has made off with the cards. Luckily the RO has a copy on microfilm but it still means someone having to write them out again. Thankfully it was not a large family , I am now looking for the culprit :-( Angela in Cowes
