A Sneeze to Please!

by Rick Faulkner

My e-mail address is rickfalk@island.net
and I live in Chemainus, British Columbia, Canada.

This really
happened to me Last spring, at the LDS Family History Center, I wanted to look up my G-G-Grandfather, Isaac Faulkner, in the 1881 indexed Census records for Birmingham, U.K.

I couldn't find the family at all, Not even at their old 1871 Census address. I had bad feelings as to what happened to them.

Three months later I decided to try again, and as I was looking at the fiche, I sneezed, my finger jerking the fiche plate. When I looked up at the fiche, there was the family, not under Faulkner, but way down under Faulkener's.

Serendipity? Or what?
