Hi Janet and Brenda, Maybe I will see you there, but please take this bit of advice, start saving now! you have plenty of time and beleive you me you will not regret it. ALL the census CD's will be there and more. The National Archives were there last year and oh boy I wish I had £500 to spare. So please make sure you save, you will not regret it. Denise Manchester |
