Thank you Roger.
I thank you for the information and I will be downloading "Copernic" to use.
Wow, I am so lucky compared to what my great grandparents had to do.
I plan to read the site to understand coal mining better.
Thank you,

Hello Lynda,
Depending on the year; children started working in welsh
mines as early as eight years old.
My grandfather worked in the Gresford Colliery from age trwelve.
Try "General History of Welsh Mining"
www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~lizcolin/w_gen
If you have "Copernic" as a server,
www.copernic.com you
may
search many, many sites at once. Copernic is Canadian and free to download.
I use it all the time.
Good luck,
Roger McFallon.
Caroline, Alberta.
