The descendants have descended in droves. The 1901 census that the British government put online this week has taken more hits than Mike Tyson. And like a wounded boxer, http://www.census.pro.gov.uk has gone to the corner for a cold splash of water and a quick rubdown. The site had to come offline for some emergency repairs thanks to the 1 million-plus people who tried to log on at the same time. Must be something in their genes! The site should be back up and running by Friday. Tally-ho!
