All good things must come to an end (or so they say). Fawlty Towers stopped before it became boring and, in its same (modest
way, Censuswhack sadly closes its doors to new entrants.
But WHAT a time we've had! Who could have imagined some of the wonderful combinations of christian and surnames that are hiding out there in the censuses?
And, en route, we've sidestepped round a few brick walls for Rootschatters in the process.
What lessons have we learned?
- Never trust an index
- Never trust your parents when it comes to the names they give you
- Never give up looking
- Never underestimate a Rootschatter
- The Census can be FUN!
- I don't know how to produce a table that lines up properly on a Rootschat thread
So, we come therefore to the final tally:
