Scotland / Re: Advice regarding 2 websites with indexes from NRS
« on: Saturday 04 November 23 23:00 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Goldie

I ordered a full entry from Scottish Indexes and had a rapid and completely satisfactory reply but, that said, I know nothing about the other site, so cannot compare.

Regards

Where?  There  is no centralised index or office.

The Common Room / Re: What is Geneanet
« on: Wednesday 06 September 23 09:23 BST (UK)  »
One important point regarding Geneanet is that - at least at present - you remain the owner of the tree you upload which I believe is not the case with some other sites.

In case it's of any use, here's how to convert dates given in the republican calendar to those in the Gregorian calendar:

or here:

and there are plenty of others on line.

Hello Goldie

I hope I've got the line numbering right!

Line 2 : ...république une et indivisible
Line 3 : Pardevant
Line 7 : cy-après (=below)
Line 8 : nommée (should be nommé)
Line 12 : revendresse
Line 16 : sise
Line 17 : duquel décès

The Common Room / Re: Straw Plaiting
« on: Tuesday 18 April 23 22:34 BST (UK)  »
Some of my ancestors from the corner of Buckinghamshire that shares borders with Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire were straw-plaiters too.  Many years ago I acquired this book on the subject:

Laszlo G GROF : Children of Straw
Barracuda Books Ltd, 1988

No idea if it's still available; second hand maybe

Europe / Re: Research in France - Book Recommendations

You might find useful clues as to place on Généanet - there is an English version - but, as with all online trees, great caution is needed and any clues or leads should be followed up by your own research.
