The Icelandic genealogy database - Open!: "Posted by Friðrik Skúlason (213.220.100.138) on January 19, 2003 at 14:55:54:
The database known as "Íslendingabók" was opened today. This is a nearly complete database of all available Icelandic genealogy information.
It includes every Icelander currently living and their ancestors, all the way back to the original settlement of Iceland in the 9th century (or as far as records exist).
The database can be found at www.islendingabok.is."

Boston Globe / Spotlight / Abuse in the Catholic Church / The financial cost: "12/4/2003
Through much of the 20th century, the Italianate palazzo that was home to each of Boston's cardinal-archbishops symbolized the glory of the Catholic Church in Boston.

But over the last two years, as the church has been rocked by the sexual abuse scandal, the house has come to symbolize a distance between the leaders of the church and its laypeople.

Yesterday's announcement by the archdiocese that it plans to sell the mansion, as well as 28 acres of surrounding property, marks a new era for the archdiocese, which is trying to reestablish its credibility after acknowledging that scores of priests allegedly sexually abused minors over five decades."

thank you Stan for adding precision to my recollection

the point I was making for example in South Wales the faithful,
many of whom were workers from Ireland when the industrial revolution ran out of local labour, travelled long distances
and even to the next county to participate in RC church services.

So baptisms for exmple may be in registers way away from the expected location<<

About Gmail:

"As part of Google's mission to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful, we're testing an email service called Gmail.

Gmail is a free, search-based webmail service that includes 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of storage.
The backbone of Gmail is a powerful Google search engine that quickly recalls any message an account owner has ever sent or received.
That means there's no need to file messages in order to find them again.

When Gmail displays an email, it automatically shows all the replies to that email as well, so users can view a message in the context of a conversation.
There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail, which places relevant text ads and links to related web pages adjacent to email messages. "
About Gmail: "Interested in a GMAIL account?

As we're in a testing period, we don't have more details for when Gmail will be made widely available, but we thank you for your interest in Gmail.
In the meantime, if you'd like to be updated about Gmail, feel free to submit your email address below.
We will only use your email to send you more information about Gmail. It will not be shared with any third parties. "

I will miss the chat on AOL but the rest is not unique
