> Anne, your modesty only adds to your stature............. You are very kind, but please believe me, Ray, I have had **nothing** to do with LIBINDX, apart from lending them the results of my research many years ago. The concept and execution is entirely the work of the staff of Moray Council's Libraries and IT departments, augmented by a Job Creation team and other temporary staff. I am determined that all credit should be given to those who decided (long before I even moved into this area) to record the MIs and index them on cards along with the newspaper references, and later to transfer the information to computer; who designed the database and improved it over the years; who decided to continue the work by indexing progressively the rest of the newspapers (some of which have yet to be done), the Poor Law records, Court records and other miscellaneous collections, and finally to make the whole lot available online. I could name some names, but if I do I will inevitably omit some people, simply because I was never a party to the process and do not know what contributions were made by whom. Anne
