To any of our Isle of Wight members - have any of you used the Family History Centre in Newport - if so are they friendly and helpful!
I am doing a tree for a very dear friend of mine who lives on the Island - and we have traced one side of the family back to Niton and probably Whitwell before that. She has caught the bug is happy to go rummaging around graveyards to see what she can find, but also wants to see if she can find anything in the parish records so that we can go back further.
She is a complete beginner - so was wondering if I sent her along to the FH Centre whether they would give her a bit of initial help when looking at fiche etc., just to get her started.
