Finding roots online ...

... The Electronic Book of Stothards.

I suppose this as good a time and place as any to register one my pet complaints, especially since, in this case, I'll be complaining about myself. In the headline to this post I refer to "roots." And we have all heard about people looking for or finding said roots. But this is of course nonsense. If you have been transplanted, you have first of all been uprooted. You take your roots with you or you die. What you seach for - and may find - is the soil you (or rather your ancestors) were originally planted in.
