Estella,
Thanks for the comment. I’ve been busy with other projects and haven’t taken the time to post much for quite some time. Maybe your comment will motivate me to post more often.

Yours sincerely

]]>Sheila,
My wife and I have been working in the Family History Library in Salt Lake, and have learned more. If you haven’t already found the marriage information you wanted, you may want to try any of the following: http://www.freebmd.org.uk, http://www.findmypast.co.uk, http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk. In 1837, a Civil Registration began, so in addition to having parish registers, there are the civil registers–which were required for births, marriages, and deaths. Hope this helps.
David
Sheila,
Try searching on “Suffolk records Ipswich” it looks like there are a bunch of places to obtain information. I don’t know when they started issuing marriage certificates in the UK, but in earlier periods, I’ve been able to find marriage information in Parrish Registers, and Marriage Bonds (the applications for marriage licenses).
Best to you,
David

]]>David,
Thank you for the nice comments. I’m sorry to hear about your friend’s son. Far too many people are losing their faith over the popular atheistic view of science. I hope he will read the (if only he’s not too far gone).
Best to you!

I’ve been sharing bits and pieces of various chapters with my wife, and she has commented that she might have to steal the book from me once I’ve finished it. Also, since we homeschool our children, it might become a required-reading textbook in our home.
I have some friends who live back where I grew up–they are a very religious family with two children. The younger one recently finished his first year at university, and before he went he was very excited to attend youth groups and religious studies. Since attending only two semesters of university he is now completely opposed to any religious talk whatsoever–completely atheist, even anti-religion, claiming he refuses to believe anything he cannot see for himself (which, given the points you bring up in the book, is rather ironic). I’m planning to send them a copy of your book in hopes that it will at least open avenues of dialog again.
Thanks again for the time and effort that went into gathering this research and publishing it. Can’t wait to finish it!
