The       Search button provides another menu which starts with Records. On the       whole, Records are reliable BUT are very often only transcripts of the       original documents and transcripts may or may not be accurate. There       are, though, original images for many of the datasets.              --       Jenny M Benson       http://jennygenes.blogspot.co.uk/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
