On This Day in FEBRUARY ...

[genjen]

I find this a good exercise as I come across people for whom I have research outstanding and I've bought a few more certificates since this thread started last November.

Me too. I'm sorry - it was never intended to be a costly thread.

[Lydart]

I think that a new thread for each day would be a bit complicated. It would need someone to remember to start it!

What I'm not sure of is what will happen when we get round to November, which is when I started the first one. Will we all just re-post the same anniversaries or will there be enough new people joining in to keep it fresh?

I've got some new stuff for Nov and Dec

Works for me as it is gengen. I'ts made me go back and look over old ground and forgotten searches and I've found two new leads due to being part of the thread. Don't worry about November, I have stuff for next January I forgot this time
