The very frustration I feel at the lack of information available about an ancestor should be a hard lesson why I should be doing the things like writing identifying notes on the backs of photographs and keeping up with a family journal. It's like reverse Karma. Sometimes I flabbergast myself.

I was delighted with extra New Year newsletter of 31 Dec 2010 with all the family research stories. It was refreshing to read the Experts always pointing a way to find information and intimating DON'T GIVE UP! The result for me was: a) Sending off to the Cornwall County for a copy of the orignal death certificate of an ancestor when I could not locate it on the Index, the GRO couldn't find it and yet I have a burial record. b) The death index of a Great Aunt whom I knew lived in Dublin but nothing more. Found on FamilySearch. c) On discovering that all the probate indexes are not complete for 1910/11, I am sending off details for a search to be made at the Probate Office for the Will of a 2 x great aunt. As she ended her nusring career as a Matron I think it is more than likely that she left one. Also, the January newsletter showing how to use the Card Index was just what I needed. Thank you. More please! Happy New Year to you too!
