August was a busy month as far as family history is concerned. Not particularly in terms of research done – I haven’t made any excursions to visit records offices, or spent much time researching online – but in terms of contacts made and correspondence. I was delighted to renew contact…

June has been a very busy month for me. As it is the height of the gardening season I’ve spent much of my time working in our garden, which always looks at its best at this time of the year. We’ve also been away for a short break, and on…
