Change Log 1st Half 1997



Notes:

  1. There are no active hyperlinks in the body of this file due to links going out of date.
  2. Surnames Interest list files tend to be updated about once per month, and thus are not normally listed here.
  3. As servers change, the links go out of date. When this happens, the links are removed from these pages as it is felt that the effort in keeping them up to date is too great - the text of course remains.
