Subject: [bhc] Offline BHC Data Base
Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2003 19:41:22 -0600

Hello
As the number of basic listings of BHC approaches 35,000 so does the number of
individual records I created in the Offline BHC Data Base.
I've made a few changes in the categories I use in the Offline BHC Data Base,
so if you are interested in seeing what each record potentially contains, go to
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/zsubmission_form.h
tm. Will have to fine-tune the formatting on this web page.

I've decided to include BHC siblings in the Offline BHC Data Base, whether they
were in care / not in care, sent to Canada / not sent to Canada.

This might help establish some links for BHC researchers.

In my Father's case, only two of his half sibs knew he existed. If anyone in
his 4 other natural siblings' families were researching SNOW's chances are they
would never stumble across him. Three of his four siblings were also "in care"
and they never knew of their half siblings, and had little contact with each
other.

If you would like to submit your BHC relative's information to the Offline BHC
Data Base, I would gladly create individual records of their siblings as well.

Your information may provide the pieces someone else is looking for. Others'
records may hold the information you are looking for.

It may take a very long time, but I intend to establish sibling links between
the 35,000 individual records in the Offline BHC Data Base wherever I can.

There is no other data base which so much comprehensive information in a single
location - so that's a good enough reason.

Best wishes and a hearfelt thanks to all of you who have so unselfishly
gathered detailed information about BHC who were not you own.


Best Wishes
