Book 4 is Sources and Methods: A Handbook by Ruth Finnegan.

Had a quick look on  Amazon, and these seem to be more widely avaialbe than they were last time I looked - used copies start from around £10.00

*Tells self very firmly that £40+ is quite a few certificates*

 ;)

True silvilocks - about 5 certs and £2 short for another - so might just check ebay and if they are more expensive than £10 each will give up and just send for the 6  certs that I can decide on

Hi Carol,
Do you fancy helping out with another Anglesey family? I've got to know an American called Wesley Jones over the internet, who has ancestors from Llanfwrog and Llanfechell areas. I've been doing a bit of tracking for him as local knowledge helps a lot round here.

He now wants to try and track forward the siblings we've found who stayed on Anglesey when his ancestor went to America, to see if he has any living relatives here he can contact. Tracking forward is freaking me out a bit, so if you fancy a bit of a challenge I'd love some help!

Let me know if you're interested... and congrats on all the success you've been having recently, I've been following it all with interest as we're on the same patch. Just wish I didn't have to trail to Leeds to go graveyard searching.

Best wishes,

Fiona

No I'm a Taurus

Mind you I have spent the night looking at census lookups for others on boards I wouldn't normally need to go on

Keeps me busy

Hi Carol

After reading the other posts it looks like your going to be one busy lady, but never forget to take time out....relax, read a book, listen to your fav CD,  then once you are re-charged its back to searching........think we may start up a night owls section..lol (I often wonder if one of my g.g.g.grandparents was a night worker....lol) cheers Summer
