The Northumberland & Durham Family History Society

was hoping to buy this for £3.75 but will they tell me much.

No idea. Depends what is in them and what you are looking for.

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

What's on them?

[Little Nell]

I see this is the website page
Ancestral Indexes - Workhouse Records

but it doesn't say what the records contain, does it!

[Little Nell]

I can only suggest you contact the Society and ask what they contain, which years they cover, etc.

thanks , must admit it does seem cheap

I can only suggest you contact the Society and ask what they contain, which years they cover, etc.

and ask whether they are Microfiche, Books, CD Roms or ? ... it doesn't specify

[Olde Crone Holden]

This does irritate me, generally, that many of the cds etc for sale do not specifiy what they contain, nor whether they are originals or transcripts.

I am sure they would sell more (well, they would to me, lol) if they described exactly what was on them, rather than the vague description "Parish Registers of St Muggins" for instance.

I have emailed them to ask what they contain and in what form they come
