Alright Uggers.................I had a quick peek at the 1911, but only at my husbands side, as he has hardly any family left I don't feel guilty! :)))))

Hi Darklord and Everyone

Good thread this! I have relatives still living who are on the 1911. They haven't really said much about it, they were only small children at the time after all and there is nothing on the image to blush about!
HOWEVER! We have been trying to track down relatives who went to Canada and can only follow them into the 1920's and no access to any marriages or deaths because of their strict privacy laws. We are lucky here that most of what we need to find out is transcribed (although not all by any means) and out there.
Regarding the 100 year Ruling - a promise is a promise and I know my mum (if she were alive today) would be very upset about breaking the rule, at least for her generation who felt very let down by the Governments of the day after WW1 especially.
OK said my bit :))

Having said all that - it IS b....y frustrating when you can't access the info you want. We are after all addicts and when we enter the details into ANY search box ANYWHERE we want results !!! NOW!!
