Hi Guys
Sorry I tried to get on here yesterday but I kept getting a Service Error message.
I have driven myself mad trying to find the original place I saw they have a CD in the UK..... It was something like FEOL or EFOL, something a rather. The letters were obviously the letters of a library or something. Maybe someone might know. Sorry it's been 2 years since I started this thread.
I've had a membership for a number of years with The Genealogist and checked their S&N Genealgy Supplies quite often during that timebut as yet no one is doing those records on a Data CD that can be purchased by the public. I did send them an e-mail at some point to see if they were going to do one but I got no reply.
I did find that there was a copy at a library here in Australia that someone else mentioned here as well but I'm in Adelaide and they are in Victoria.
I did also try getting in touch with our local LDS Family Centre which is only a minute away from us but I got a bit of a frost reception by the guy on the other end of the phone and really didn't feel comfortable at all going in there.
I have even gone to the effort of sending e-mail after e-mail to the church that would be connected to those records only to be shuffled from person to person and department after department to the point I gave up because no one seemed to know who I should be contacting.
My main issue is that I don't want to pay for look ups and research because I like to see things for myself and because I want to be able to connect all the dots, you don't know what you may stumble accross..... Like I was looking for the name Oram and stumbled accross my 4 x Great Grandmother as Oran in other registers I have.... I'm just not confident that someone else would go through all the same possibilities I would, I mean they could come up with others too I suppose but it is just knowing I've seen it for myself.
I have found a multitude of people wanting to get their hands on these records in form of a take home Data CD they can purchase but no one seems to be willing to actually produce the CD.... Red Tape maybe ???
To be honest I am quite the introvert and like the privacy of my home when researching as well as having access to the records at any time when I've been mulling over the research done that day and suddenly think oh I didn't think of that............ I'll just go look that up.
Anyways.... The main name I'm searching is Glazbrook, all variants of course but our spelling here and now is Glazbrook as opposed to the most common of Glazebrook. And also Cooksey.
I have found them all in the listings of the LDS Family Search but as I say Iwant to be able to purchase records.
I will continue to try and find the initial place I found they have a copy in the UK for any of you who are over there and may want to access the records at that library.
I was really suprised after all this time to have some replies and see more people searching for these records, maybe someone will get wind of the fact there is a market for this to come out on Data CD to purchase.
