If by chance you are near Woking next Sat 31st there is a Family History Open Day at the Woking Leisure Centre, Kingfield Road, Woking 10-4.30. Organisations attending include East of London FHS, London/Westminster/Middlesex FHS, plus organisations from Kent etc. further info www.wsfhs.org/openday.htm Would you believe I have found another family my Sarah Ann Skene (m Henry) found 7 brothers and sisters and in seconds via www.parishrecord.com and the huge cost of $A6. These people have transcribed/are transcribing all the churches in Tower Hamlets themselves and you can buy the CD's or download from the net. Free searches just pay for the info and it all came in one bit so was dirt cheap. They could well be at the Open Day too. Sounds like you are having a great time and I do envy you. Tip: If like me you have managed to collect a lot of paper eg books etc from all the places you have visited ship them home the cheapest way will lighten your luggage and its wonderful opening the box/parcel when it arrives. Have fun Robyn Russell,
