We have a lot to be thankful for and we also expect a lot. When our very existence proves
an event that we ought to be able
to find in the years which are published and freely available for a small sum in the years
which are published, it brings us back to reality. I cant obtain my second great
grandfather's death record, or burial. I've spent sufficiently to know he didn't die in
Britain.
