Hi members, I just found and joined this list about a month ago. I am amazed at the high quality of the replies, not just to my query but to others as well. Also I'm impressed by the professionalism of the admin. Sorry to see activity is dropping off, but I agree with the analysis about the proliferation of online record access. Then again, quality is better than quantity in my book. If I can help anyone with U.S. queries, especially the coal fields of northeastern Pennsylvania, please let me know. Thanks for being there, Margaret -- Luzerne County, Pennsylvania: AMOS, CHARLES, DAVIES, FISHER, HENRY, PRICE, RAUGH/ROUGH, REESE, WAGNER Brecknockshire (Breconshire): HAMON (?)
