Redroger thanks for clarifying the need for OS to operate inside Virtual Box.

So I've done a recce search on Ebay and there are a variety of Win95 OS cds on offer.  Dumb question time.  If I get a Win 95 install CD off ebay, won't my current Win 7 64bit set up have difficulty opening that or will the setup.exe type files launch via DOS and enable install on VirtualBox?   

BTW I think I have to go to Win 95 over Win 98 just to be on the safe side.  The files were created in March 1998 but the CD cover says Win 3.1 or higher.

Hi scotiagirl

Not sure where you have checked previously, but this is a link to the British Columbia Archives online database for all provincial vital statistics, including deaths 1872-1991:

Hope this helps

Hello Waen

The Robert Jones on the 1851 census reference you quoted is married to a Prudence Jones.  I tracked down the second marriage certificate (Jan 23 1860 Bodfari, Flintshire) which indicates that this Robert's father was an Abel Jones occupation labourer.

I agree 100 %.  There are givers and takers in this world, including relatives.  By nature I'm a giver, but I've come to recognize giving is what gives me pleasure - how the other person treats me gift is their problem!  Some people can be totally ungrateful but coming across the kindred spirits more than makes up for the horrid ones.

PS   Several years ago, I met my 3rd cousin once removed through family history.  We've never met, live 7000 miles apart but we chat on the net once a week.  I think of her as the sister I never had.   Just like the rest of life, you never know where or when you will come across a toad or find a treasure!
