jillbrowne I don't know how long it will be before the majority of transactions - electronic ones - clear right away. You are right in thinking electronic funds transfer should speed things up.

jillbrowne I'm not a great fan of banks, but their answer would be that this protects you, their customer, and prevents fraud, which protects the whole banking system. The theory is that until a cheque or other payment "clears", there is a risk that it will bounce, in...

jillbrowne Just noticed that you said these women were "dissociative". I hope you have access to mental health professionals. It seems like a serious situation. Good luck.

jillbrowne I can't answer your question but I think it's a good one, and I started looking for the answer on the internet. The Swedish government's website is running too slowly right now for me to get past the home page. However, a couple of considerations would...

jillbrowne The Centre for Research into Freemasonry, www.freemasonry.dept.shef.ac.uk at the University of Sheffield in England might be interested in the piece about the Lodge. They published a paper about it in 2004, according to their website.

jillbrowne I'm wondering what the purpose of your search is. A lot of people are searching their family roots, and often the trail leads back to England. If any of the things you have give enough information to trace it to a family, there may be someone who would like...
