      From: NemoNews@hotmail.co.uk              I just opened Family Search to look for a Baptism record and paused to       read the message at the top of the screen about Covid-19 and the closure       of Family History Centres and it included an invitation to browse their       unindexed collection images. I was side-tracked, followed the link and       entered Birkenhead as a pace to search as I and so many members of my       family are from there.              Wow! I was immediately presented with 28 groups of records which       include Cemetery Records, Tax Records, Voting Registers, Church Records       ...              I have only had time so far to glance at a few images, but I have seen       Cemetery Records for Flaybrick Hill, Land Tax Records dating back to       King George III and Baptism Records for St James's Church which include       the names of Godparents!              Yes, it's a pain having to trawl through scores of images to find the       precise one you want, but it's well worth it! And many of us have       plenty of time on our hands at the moment!              --       Jenny M Benson       Wrexham, UK              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
