Hi all
After making a start with census data, family knowledge, a few free points on findmypast, etc. I have a good 5 generations in my four grand parents directions.
Now I know to go further will cost but am wondering how to control costs and get the best value for money.
My family are all England based (hopefully a good start). The direct family name lines I can chase well by census. But I think I need BMDs to get more and chase down maiden names. And now to the rub:
In BMD I seem to get only a reference. Occassionally I get a maiden name but not always. I don't even get a fixed date (within a 3 month range).
So I look at ordering certs and they are £7 each. That could cost a fortune especially if I guess the wrong reference from the list.
Just wondered if anyone could say if I have missed a better route or if it simply "will cost a fortune".
Many tx Nigel
