OK, folks, I've got the birth register. It's alphabetized by father's name, which Rose said was the easiest of the three choices (mother's and child's names were the others). I may try to set it up so I can arrange it any of the three ways. We'll see. Meanwhile, pls. send any lookup requests now; I will not be able to post ANY of this until October at the very earliest, and probably later than that. But lookups, any time... Tracee
