Change Log 3rd Quarter 1997

Please note,

As servers change, the links go out of date.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. For current links please go to the appropriate Country page.
Additions are made to this file as I am told about them. As a result of this I could well be adding change data for things which happened a month ago - so please scan the whole file each time you come here.
Surnames Interest list files tend to be updated about once per month, and thus are not normally listed here.

Change of format for this page: Latest now at the bottom of page.
