Bless you Alison. I enjoyed every word of the trek. For me the effort of
establishing this list - and seeing it into the capable hands of Debbie -
have been enormously rewarded. I am certain that I speak for many others
when I send my deepest thank you. I don't know about most of you; for me
the collection of dates and names and places while intriguing and
challenging leaves me hungering to know more of the lives of my ancestors.
Certainly, we can study the history of the period they lived in - it will
enhance our understanding, giving a sense of their lives.
When someone presents a document such as you have which depicts similar
experiences to that achieved by our forebears it helps us to "live" a bit
in their day. Once more - thank you so very much.
