I have written on more than several occasions over the past several months to Origins.net at this email address and on your Help & Resource Contact page. I am not rec'g any replies. I am having a problem, and have a question about your Apprentice Database. I have been to the Guildhall in London and found 2 of my ancestors listed in the original books. However, when I do a search on Origins.net (I have used all variants+) I never see them appear, which brings to my concern that there are more ancestors that I may not be seeing. What may I be doing wrong? Why don't I see the men I know appear in the original books. I do find a list of 13 men but believe there to be at least 5-8 more that should appear within the time period of your database. Can anyone please help me understand this dilemma?
