It is a strange world when we in the UK find out about what's happening here via an American genealogy blog reporting on an item in (Australian) Genealogy & History News. Dick Eastman's blog item: http://blog.eogn.com/2014/09/28/petition-launched-for-early-release-of-england-wales-birth-marriage-and-death-records/#more-3252 The petition: http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/62779 In any event it deserves some support.

A strange world indeed.... I've written about this petition in my (British) online newsletter at least three times - the first was in April: http://lostcousins.com/newsletters/apr14news.htm#Petition As my newsletter is free I hope that the SoG won't object to this little piece of self-promotion!
