I cant really class myself as blond either - I'm a redhead - luckily for everyone standing round me at the FRC my redhead temper didnt come out :-) Such a strange/brill/funny enviroment though, loads of people grabbing at books - it reminded me in a way of the xmas sales! I think its brill though the FRC is free to go in and to use. I spent all day there and came away with loads of index numbers, so the credit card will be getting a beating over the next few months! |

Karen, I did a similar thing with my first lot of credits on 1837............used up nearly £5 looking at 1871 not 1861! Not even got the excuse of being blonde...................now grey with blonde bits left, Pam |

Hiya Just had to share with you all my FRC experience today. I was all prepared with a list a mile long for indexs for look at. Got there nice and early and started looking straight away at births for c1855 onwards, anyway 5 years on (and an hour later) I still hadnt found any entries that I had been looking for and was beginning to think my ancestors were probably looking down at me having a good old laugh, when I suddenly realised why I couldnt find them - I was looking in 1955! doh! Anyway, had quite a successful day, about feeling a prize wally, but know I'm feeling absolutely knackered. Sorry that I was able to offer to do any look ups for anyone, but I had so many of my own to do that I knew I wouldnt have time. |
