Useful USA site (and a funny)

Hello all,

from the backbytes column of Computing magazine today.

"We are indebted to reader Henry Brysh, who passes on a useful tip for anyone tracing their family tree over the net.
' A gentleman by the name of Steven Morse has some very helpful search utilities on his web site,' he says, and indeed he does, if you go to www.stevemorse.org . However, for all those people who emailed Steve to ask if he could find their great grandfather for them, he has a special page: www.stevemorse.org/grandfather/ ".

The main site is fairly useful, and the explanation is good, but you need to read the grandfather site to see the joke. It is just too similar to a page that we often see, so it is easy to click "Back" and not read it.

Regards,

John

And I can't emphasise too much the need to look carefullyat the page accessed via www.stevemorse.org/grandfather/ .... it only took me 5 months !!
