Members may include as much or as little detail here, as they wish. The country of
residence is often useful, for others to know whether or not to recommend visits to
particular archives and Registry Offices. The county / region, or even a town or
city, may be helpful, but as many members wish to ensure their anonymity, the decision
whether or not to enter these details is entirely voluntary.
