I've searched this site and the Gray and Lawrence families in my tree and can't find the connection.

Thanks Geoff.

What percentage of these 'can't find in my tree' am I allowed ?

A problem when not all are in the name index to the database.

I rarely make notes without putting a name and a pointer such as age, PoB and a possible family member.. in the Index of my db, that way I have 2x pieces of info to cross-check. Just reading from notes can be a nightmare, but with a name and some some sparse details it MAY help. I say may because I still have about a dozen to sort out yet

You may not be in a position to use that method as you would require a number of spare records..

Thanks Geoff.

Things have been tough the last 18 months with selling and moving. Delays getting to State Library and things won't settle down.
I'm due in hospital 5 March for hip replacement surgery.

I think the percentage of missing ones is low enough to keep me out of wally corner.

Hope all goes well with the surgery, at least afterwards the pain and mobility will improve.

Yeah, providing the missing ones don't impact too much, as on a direct line. I had one like that until last year, but I've found him now.

No wally corner for now

Thanks Geoff.

I go tomorrow for the pre-clinic. I just filled in the form with number of steps to front door = 16 and height of bed, height of lounge chair, etc... have to keep knees below hips.

[horse]

Yeah, dislocations not good..

I had the right one done 9 years ago by same surgeon. I know what the rehab is like. I also know rehab for knee replacement is far worse. Hope my knees won't need surgery.
