i think that keeping the originals tucked away is a good idea!! i have thought about printing a photobook of all the important ones. it's just hard to organised so many.
i did have a computer failure once so i do now back up everything

i don't mean to make people green! i am sure i will come across problems but i think its because my families have lived in the same places for many generations. i just wondered if i am doing the right thing. Also i am just going back by grandparents then their parents and their etc, haven't gone sideays at all. should i?

hi
i seem to be finding my research a little too easy and wondered if this is right! i get a name of an ancestor - say my grandparent, order their birth cert, hence get parents names, order marriage/birth certs and so on. i am managing to get back on all routes at the moment by 5 generations. i would like to find out more than just names and dates, perhaps what life was like, etc to give my ancestors character. does anyone do this?

FH Documents and Artefacts / old photos - what do you do?
« on: Wednesday 17 October 07 13:51 BST (UK) »
i have literally a few hundred photos from both sides of my family, dating from the early 1900's to the 1960's, i have started scanning them but i really don't know what to do with them all, they are in boxes at the mo.
should i put them all in albums? this itself would be hard as there are so many different sizes. should i scan them all and make a photo book? can anyone tell me what they have done and if it has worked. i need to write who/where and when they all are too so future generations know. i have got most of the peoples names from parents and grandparents!

thank you very much, it's worth £5 to see if they have one, but if not then i assume there is no other place it would be?

The Common Room / finding a will
« on: Saturday 02 December 06 17:44 GMT (UK) »
hello
i would like to see the will of my great grandmother who died in 1957. Where would i go to find this and is it even possible.
The family story is that she left her house and all her money to a cats charity!
