    3. <<snipped>> >From the 14 November the list of centres holding a complete set of GRO indexes including those for more recent events will be as follows - * Birmingham Central Library * Bridgend Local and Family History Centre * City of Westminster Archives Centre * Manchester City Library * Newcastle City Library * Plymouth Central Library * The British Library. ... What rubbish coverage! Mark from deepest, darkest Dorset Sent from my iPhone <<snipped>> Um. You're using the internet, indeed, using an iPhone, and you want microfiche? <sardonic grin> In all seriousness - this is the problem those distributing these fiche face - I've never used the fiche, can't see why I would. Undoubtedly there are those who can't afford to access these fiche in their current locations or their online equivalents, but I'm _guessing_ that the cost of fiche production is roughly comparable with the cost of microfilm production and that is now becoming extortionate, as Chester Record Office is finding with the task of replacing stolen microfilms. Should taxpayers really be subsidising my hobby? (Accurate statements on film and fiche costing welcome) Adrian B
