There are a lot of things which make me wish I were there again - maybe soon..... How is membership going at the Orkney Family History Society? What activities is OFHS planning for the Summer? Are all the churchyards transcribed and indexed now? Say "hello" to Elaine for me .... Elsie Ritchie is accumulating huge amounts of data on your Traills. I'll have to send some of this to you sometime .... Now that you're retired, I'll have to send you my research "wish list" .... ;-)) Ken Harrison North Vancouver, Canada Unless specifically stated otherwise in this message, there is no intentional attachment on this e-mail transmission.
