To be honest its a rarity anyone uses cheques these days but if you wanted to do that you would make it out to "Cash" But its a bit risky as anyone finding it would be able to cash it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Never heard of that on this side of the pond. > > How would you write a check to someone who will need to cash it at a teller window? > > Gale Gorman > Houston

Nivard, I received a quick reply from Ireland today telling me their birth records only go back to 1864. I sent my 2nd great grandfather's birth date off to them on March 30th and I was surprised to get a response so soon. So now where do I turn? In their reply they mentioned www.nationalarchives.ie and www.ireland.anglican.org as possible sources. Do you know of anyone I could hire to do some in person searching? Gale Gorman Houston
