I think you need a new CD/DVD drive    - My dvd player did similar - it had to go

Thanks Trish

I will have to check with the elderly remaining relatives to see if they know about this.  I doubt it though, I seem to be telling them things lately   .  Oh well someone might remember.  

I am heading to Cowra soon as an elderly relative has a trunk, rumoured to be full of photographs and things.  I am trying no to get my hopes to high, but there is meant to be a picutre of Albert and Nellies wedding in it, among other family treasures.  So fingers crossed I shall see what they looked like soon

I am very excited

Hi Cando & Jenn

Thank you so much, This is wonderful and so quick. Yippee!!!  The sons marriage and Alberts death.  Yes Jenn I think that is it.  1957, I never knew that, he was one of my Dads favourite uncles, but I wasn't born until 1958, so probably why I don't remember him.  Thank you so much, this is just great.

Yes Cando I am really excited about going, but every time I arrange it, something happens.  So I have booked annual leave in July and I shall get there then I hope.  THe guy who has the trunk can't use a computer. let alone a scanner, so I shall go myself and hope on old letters etc too.  I know there was a letter from Alberts brother in there once, written from the front lines of WW!.  I have a copy of it, it is brilliant, just brilliant.  i can't wait to see the  rest

Thank you all again, this is all wonderful stuff.  I shall type it all into my records when I get home tonight

Cheers to you all

Lones

Thank you it's really brilliant
