We don’t charge just for answering an enquiry! Small
amounts of text about names and practical subjects can be emailed
in return for a donation, you can make a donation by using Paypal
button below, but we deal with over twenty thousand names, and it
would be impractical to list them all here. Some of the earlier
ones can be found in the NAME
INDEX.
The PianoGen booklets listed below are compiled individually when required: (See also
the REPORTS button.) Prices will rise, and content will change, as more information

PRINTED BOOKLETS:
METHODS OF PAYMENT: Over the past thirty years, we have
struggled to find convenient ways that people could make small
payments and donations from abroad. Sadly, in this world of
information technology, instant access and internet resources, the
banks and credit companies are still unable to offer us any method
of receiving small amounts at a reasonable cost: American Express,
for example, charges nearly £10, and takes a month to process
foreign cheques, but our good old local Post Office will instantly
change foreign banknotes over the counter. Most other options cost
more to set up than our yearly profits, so I'm grateful to PayPal
for the system we can now offer. Alternatively, you could buy
international postal orders, or go to the trouble of paying the
exchange costs at your end, and arranging a sterling cheque payable
on a british bank, but the simple answer is to reach in you pocket
and post Bill some bills! We won’t quibble about approximate
exchange rates, our most urgent priority is to find funds for
historical research.
