Well Karen, I know that you are sick of hearing me complain...but I do scans for people for free, and try to get the most legible scan possible...

here is a perfect example I just found of a waste of our tax dollars and time and any poor soul's time who tries to find this information online...I mean...why did they even bother with all these pages of illegible information?

Hi Robin

I seem to have managed to send you a personal message - didn't think I would be able to as you have only made one post  ???
Thanks for getting in touch

You can send a p.m. but they probably won't receive it...unless rootschat has changed something...But who knows for sure...as although the rules state 3 posts before a p.m. can be sent, I have sent after 2 and they have been received, so I now tell new people to try after two. J.J.

I had thought I might find 'downside' in this sequence. This is my third posting, so I hope I'll now be able (if I have understood) to reply to his message and perhaps learn more about the Stoneadge-West Canada connection. And I have photos of George Henry!
