Hello again Graham

Ifailed to address this fully and it got bounced back at me. I hope it
will reach you this time. Fingers crossed.

Thanks for filling me in a bit more on your project. Do by all means
use any of my material that you have as test material. Long term,
though, it would be best to ignore it for the moment for the very real
reason that later work has created a lot of amendments. It would be far
better to wait until I can devote some time to upgrading the material.
Otherwise it might get hard to correct it in situ.

That's interesting to hear. I've met Liz and many of her staff.

Do keep in touch. My book on the marriage records 1837 to 1899 is now
virtually finished and I'm looking towards publication. The difficulty
is knowing even roughly how many may sell. I could probably finance a
first print of 1000 copies but it's the sort of conmpletely original
book that could potentially sell 10,000 or even many more. It describes
all the multitudinous ways in which marriages have been lost from the
records and the hundreds of thousands of errors in the system.

Regards to you all
Mike
