About information being destroyed (mainland China): In my experience, most of the data is kept by the people themselves, and is passed on down the generations. I don't think one can find any info on the residents of pre-WW2 European countries. -- Theodore Hope School of ICS, Georgia Tech, Atlanta GA CSNet: Hope @ GaTech ARPA: Hope.GaTech @ CSNet-Relay uucp: ...!{akgua,allegra,rlgvax,sb1,unmvax,ut-ngp,ut-sally}!gatech!Hope

Actually, it is possible to find a lot of information on Europeans pre-WWII. My mom has had a lot of luck with parish records, both actually in Europe and reproduced on microfilm by the Mormons. (I'm not sure what this has to do with mainland China, but somebody mentioned the data was unavailable in Europe...) -Joe P.
