Uhoh. Sounds like another glorious place where I can lose myself! Adieu!

Absolutely great, and ideal for e.g. family tree research. I think I know how I'll be spending this weekend!

I found my own engagement announcement, too. I've been having so much fun looking for the family that I haven't got around to looking for the as-it-happened historical things yet, but I will...

What fun! Its quite the thing, I can loose hours surfing through what's in there. TB
