Thank goodness for a final sensible comment. Whatever its faults, just think what it would be like without this increasingly valuable search site. I remember in the 1960s hand searching material which often wasted hours finding nothing. Compared to those days, we are now spoilt for choice! Search engines like Ancestry have extended the scope of our studies to a degree never previously though of and the on-line information that comes into our homes - sometimes free and at other times by subscription - is mind boggling. We are no longer bound by office hours, trains and bus time tables and expensive journeys often with meagre results. All data-bases are suspect and need checking - we learned that early when the Computer File Index of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints first became available - but they guide us to information which we might otherwise never find.> From: ifm@whidbey.net> To: SFHG-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 12:07:38 -0700> Subject: [SFHG] A last comment> > Actually I do think the Ancestry site has loads to offer which is why I> subscribe to it.
