It was checking it out on Teletext that got me interested in genealogy and to begin my research on GR. Sunny R |

Yes - have had several contacts through this service and one absolute diamond of a contact - the lady does not have a computer, but has helped me enormously as she lives on the doorstep of our mutual ancestors. OC |

Not often that I read it as it tends to take to long. To many pages but I suppose there must be some out there with no computers. |

It was replying to a request for information on Teletext that got me started on the family tree route, back in 1996. Gwyn |
