Congratulations Frances and best of luck in your new role as editor of the journal.
As regards use of this board I share all the views already expressed by Jim Smith. I think it would be a pity if access to it was by member password only. I have used other FHS B/B's on a one off basis without being a member of that society and been helped in my research. I would be put off if I had to join a society to ask one question.
At some time could the use of this FHS B/B and the Genealogy B/B be clarified - often the same query seems to appear on both?
Catherine.
