	I agree with Maggie. They won't give up the revenue we "family historians" pay them every year. Kath. x

	Just read a report that, now the GRO have become part of the Identity and Passport Service (IPS), IPS has made the decision to cease uploading the birth, marriage and death indexes to the web, and that means that 2006 will be the last year of birth and death indexes to be searchable on line and 2005 the last year for marriages. Another possible 'last' is the 2011 census. The future of further censuses is not certain as the treasury Select Committee deems the census no longer fit for purpose due to migration shifts of the population. Pity the family historians of the future then!!! Ann Glos
