Hi, Closures on documents exist to make sure people give honest information, knowing they will be long dead when it can be made public. People would be more tempted to lie if they thought the neighbours might find out. Gwynne

It's amazing. Somebody was asking for a recent census look up on Rootschat. Somebody answered asking him to clarify. Apparently he had the names from the latest American 2000 one and wanted to look at our one to see if there were any others living in the UK. We should be so lucky, lucky, lucky lucky!!!!!!!!!!!! Why do we get the thin end all the time.
