RE: [lace-chat] elictricity
Betty Ann I travel to the States every year. All I take is a Travel Adapter that I buy in the UK (they even sell them at the airports now, but more expensive that is the stores), and plug whatever I want to use into that. If using the travel hairdryer, I make sure that it is set to 120v instead of 240v, but it's not a problem to use at 240v appliance on a 120v supply - it's the other way round that causes problems! I've used the same travel adapter for charging toothbrush, camera, camcorder etc when visiting the states and no problems. It's just an adapter to allow you to plug our 3-pin (square) plugs into your round sockets. My partner uses rechargeable batteries for his camera and again he just plugs the unit into the travel adapter before plugging it into the mains with no problems. Hope you find this useful.

[lace-chat] electricity
Hi all, I've just returned from the USA and the only thing I can add to the discussion is that the charger for my mobile (cell) phone wouldn't work with just an adapter on it. I eventually went to Radioshack where a very helpful man sold me a multi-purpose adapter with the correct jack plug to fit my phone. Can't use it in England, but it will come with me again when I next visit USA. Just my tuppence-worth!

[lace-chat] RE: lace-chat Genealogy Questions
Don't know if I'm doing this correctly or not, but here goes. I've been reading the questions regarding genealogy, a hobby I have a great passion for. While I don't have the answers to the specific questions being asked here, I do have a suggestion for two free websites that might help you all. This first is www:rootsweb.com. This site has loads of information, AND they have a very large mailing list section that covers most anything you could be looking for, and if there isn't a specific list that covers your list there is a general list. The folks there are very helpful and will answer all questions if possible. The second site is www.cyndislist.com. This is a list of genealogical links on the web. It lists over 250,000 sites, all catagorized and cross referenced. If you can't find a link on this site, it probably doesn't exist. Anyway, thought this information might help you. As I said, I can't answer the specific questions you all have, but if you have any questions, let me know...I do have lots of sites I can search (I do have access to Ancestry.com so if something tells you to search for something there (it's a pay site), let me know and I'll do a little digging for you.
