Hi All

I am sorry that I have been a little quiet recently, but life has been
somewhat more hectic than usual the last few weeks, but finally I have
worked my way through the long list of things I *had* to do.

Oh yes and then I was invited by findmypast to take part in a beta test of
the 1911 website, and who could turn down an invitation like that? Luckily,
although it was confined to only a few counties it did include
Gloucestershire (including much of Bristol), so I was able to find my
parents and grandparents, and three out of the four sets of
great-grandparents who were still living. The McGUIRKs have perhaps been
mis-indexed as they did evade me. And also a couple of
great-great-grandparents who had survived to 1911, both in their 80s. This
was a nice Christmas present!

Anyway hopefully I will be able to catch up again now, and anyone waiting
for a reply from me should get one...

But for now I would like to thank you all for your helpful, interesting and
useful postings over the last year and a *BIG* thank you to the List Admin
for all their hard work in keeping the List running smoothly (being one I do
know what this involves!).

Finally my Christmas Greetings to you are at:

Have a good one!
Kind regards
Polly
