Thanks, Jason..fortunately, English is now one of the two official documents so any forms I've ever sent away for have been in English as well. Eventually, I'll do some research into parish records and may well take you up on that then.
Bob, don't be so sure. I'm pretty good and *may* be able dig up something. Grandparents are usually easier for me to find info on than parents, due to privacy laws. I can find a lot more info on someone from 1930 than I can from 1960.
I'd encourge those I've send info to do more research..look up some of the people online..there are so many county histories, etc. online, you may well find something. And always, if there's one particular person you want to konw more about, let me know and I can do some digging.
