Frances - The password proposal seems sensible to me - otherwise why have 2 BB's on the same subject? And the FHS officers could make more use of it. On the other ideas, I would like to see more on-line data. The posting of transcribed wills on the net by yourself and Brian Lawson is great and the FHS site should link to them. I'm a bit doubtful about an electronic journal replacing the paper copies but it would be helpful to have an up-to-date index on the FHS site or within your Notebook.
This debate is very timely and I welcome it. michael bridson.
