------=_Part_5343_1945965.1066831893569 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sir, I am very unhappy about the proposals to limit some information to records over 100 years as this will make Family and Local History research much more difficult, especially in Wales. There are many groups and individuals doing valuable research at a time when the population has become much more mobile, and there is a danger that our heritage is being lost. In adopting the "for Wales, see England" approach, the withholding of information about occupation will have a disproportionate effect, give the frequency of identical names. Please think again.
