Yesterday I spent and extremely interesting afternoon at Beauchamp College in Leicester UK, for the :-  

Leicestershire and Rutland Family History Society  -  Open Day !  

The whole thing was interesting, informative and a really nice social occassion, the talks in the afternoon were very very good,

Best of all there was no cost to get in, though I did make a donation,

Thankyou to LRFHS for all their efforts in organising the event, and for the support, resources and expertese to help those of us exloring our Family History,

There is a link to their website on the right in my Links list, visit them, or your local society and find out more about Family History ! 

Pain is moderately bad this morning,

Had a poor nights sleep,

But still hoping to go to the Leicestershire Family History Society open day with John, my friend from the Radio Club, I have traced Wendie's paternal line back to 1600, my own family I'm having little success, typical LOL,

Japan, the earthquake, total dead so far exceeds 10,000, they think half of one small town may have been killed, that alone would be 10,000 !  

Most of the dead are not directly due to the quake, but from the devastating Tsunami, Makes my problems seem totally insignificant, my thoughts, prayers and hopes are in Japan,

Dosed up on my meds to cope with the exertions of my day out,

Local Family History Society Open Day Tomorrow  ....   Should be interesting,  Hope my legs hold out !
