Here are mine....

I want to see other people's lists if possible...I find it fascinating that such a short time ago, some of my relatives couldn't write...a couple of those listed signed their marriage certificates with an X and beside that, the Registrar had written "Her mark".
It seems so strange...so few years have passed but so much social change has gone on. What will OUR great grandchildren see when they look at our records?
