Welcome to Top Dog. Ah yes barriers - many of us have them. The members here have however been very successful at breaking through a number of them so post a query om the appropriate section of the forum and we may be able to get you moving.
Can I ask you to add your location to your profile please - saves us suggesting you go to the Australian National Archives if you are located in Canada for example.
Welcome Alfie! Just a word of warning though.......you will get lots of help on this forum, and you will even possibly knock down a brick wall or two, but don't think for one minute that your problems will be over, as, sure as night follows day, solving one problem will add another (or more)! I think it's called Murphy's Law! However, you will enjoy yourself no matter what!
Hi all, Thanks so much for the wonderful welcome. I am sorry it has taken so long to reply but I neglected to write down my password - I trusted Google to remember it. However I tried on numerous occasions to reset my password but did not receive any email to do so. I even sent emails, but still no response. However this morning I tried again and Woweee it all works fine
