Thanks for the support William...3 people in the world now who are not sheep.
As I said the School Admissions are even better than Parish Registers for date of birth
and abode information for anyone doing Family History.
They give the names of ALL the children in a Parish regardless of their religion.If your
relative went to school you can get the date of birth easily although some dates were
fudged to avoid the small fine for not registering the child sooner.Chapel and Church
affiliated admissions are also available...except at Stalag Luft Powys private Archive.
How repugnant and immoral do you think it is being told by the Archivist to apply through
the freedom of info act if you want to see the abode and name of a parent for your
ancestor 99 years ago in what once was a Public Welsh Archive! This is ONE individual
person in Wales telling you the taxpayers of Wales what SHE will allow you to see in HER
records in HER Archive! Up to November 2007 the Archive Network Wales website said there
were NO RESTRICTIONS!..as it had for years. That is until Miss Richards dictated otherwise
and just blatantly changed it to suit her own moral thinking.Piss on the lot of you in
other words:I'm in charg!
e!!
Cousin Roger.

Thanks for your posting on the Powys Roots Web ! I'm not sure that I remember the
original posting, but that is by the by !
The Data Protection Act is one of the worst pieces of legislation ever to be passed, and
is used by far too many people hide behind and to avoid doing any work whatsoever.
To quote just two instances :- Some time ago, the car belonging to a friend of mine was
broken into. Since I did not have the number of her flat (we live in a block of them) I
asked for this. I was denied it - reason given "data protection act". Second
was when someone at Liverpool Airport asked at the information desk if his family had
checked in. This was refused; same reason ! Talk about crass stupidity !
However, the primary reason that I'm writing is to thank you for reminding me that
some valuable information can be obtained from school registers. Thanks for that.
Yours
W T Williams
