Have a good trip, Emily. I hope my situation changes in the next few years so that I
can afford to go with you. I do hope you will continue to send us all your trip journal,
as right now it's the only way for some of us to get to Wales.

I was just sent this URL and thought it may be of help to some of
you. It's of a company that puts old books and maps on CD. They include the UK, US
and other countries. I've not dealt with this organization and have only scanned
their site. It may be of help to you, however.
While I have your attention....I have my scanner working again, but with the end of
school, etc. time is at a premium. We are leaving for Italy Jun 19 to Jul 11 and I must
prepare some booklets on my husband's lines for the cousins there. I will leave for
NY Jul 16, returning Jul 26, but will make every effort to get photos scanned and PERHAPS
finish the notes on the trip last year. I'm not certain others are really interested
in my lengthy version, however.
I know many of you are quite busy and we are at points where it's difficult to find
more from the states. Most of us are working on other lines. Let's not forget each
other, however.
There has been some interest in going to Wales again in a couple of years. With or
without me, you should try. I've not been able to write our friends in Wales
lately...has anyone else heard from them? The Foot and Mouth disaster has kept them
focused on daily living, no doubt.
Let's not forget that Batrum's last book will be out and the campaign to get it
on CD or make more copies than the few made in the past will be very important to us as
Bartrum is doing the 1600s...a VERY tough time for locating info in Wales. More data is
available farther back, but with the British acquisition of Wales, the two systems tended
to collide, resulting in few good records. It is important that the National Library of
Wales who will sponsor the publication of Batrum's last work, be written to insure
this is available to genealogists easily.
Post questions or comments on these topics if you have any...
Best wishes,
