Spiders - normal ?
I hate spiders - they give me the creeps.

Children's Home Records - can they be obtained?
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this subject but is it possible to obtain records from a children's home? This is going back a few years (over 50 years), for someone that wants to know why they were put in the children's home. They cannot ask family as they are all dead.

My question is what happens if the respondent isn't…
