I got my log-in info immediately Heather. How frustrating for you when you've found something for your family.
I've been looking for all my London families but haven't found anyone of mine. Don't know whether to be glad or sorry. I've been side-tracked into looking at all the results that come up, whether they are mine or not and some of them are so sad, especially if there are case notes.Starvation, poisoning,unmentionable diseases they can only have inherited from parents - it's terrible so, from that pount of view, I'm glad I can't find nay rellies.
It's a fascinating site but it really brings home to you how bad conditions were.
