Hi Stella,

That web site not working properly has happened to me many times over the
past year or so. (Since they changed the system.) It mostly happens,
however, when I try to use the "wild card" feature. So, as you say,
when searching that data base and not finding what you want, try again
later.

P.S. Just a reminder to others ... that there are other BHC data bases,
one older and one newer. But, these data bases include the names of "home
children" which have been submitted by their descendants (or people
researching them). Do a Google search for "British Home Children" (in
quotes).
