Hope she becomes a transcriber, it's so depressing to gointo FreeBMD and find the year you are interested in is only partially transcribed, and so good when you check a few months later and lo, there is the birth you wanted and you can get the certificate ordered. so WE NEED MORE TRANSCRIBERS. As for becoming an addict.... is it inevitable ....think it might be. No chance of weaning, off tomorrow morning, big dose beforehand is only option. Mavis

Mavis.. Do you think Lynda will be joining us? Hope you enjoy your holiday...yes you will have withdrawal symptoms I would suggest that you slowly wean yourself down day by day and do less and less each day that way you might be able to cope better while your away lol Loopy :~)

Loopy - No gave up and decided time would be better spent transcribing, going away for a couple of days very soon, so need a big fix to tide me over the withdrawl. Mavis

Hi lesley, I just got an error message when I typed in the link you gave me, not to worry, I'll just concerntrate in doing the important thing ... TRANSCRIBING!!! Do you think we should form a transcribers anonymus? I've only eaten fruit since I got home, too much genealogy to do to make a meal. Mavis
