Member Letter - Ancestry.co.uk: "A special note to members about improvements on Ancestry.co.uk"

Specifically, we want Ancestry.co.uk to be a place where you can:

• Be notified of other members who are researching your ancestors, connect with them, share data and photos, and see when they add new information. Learn more
• More easily find your ancestors in historical record images and edit their index information if you think something is incorrect. Learn more
• Navigate and find the information in your family tree more quickly and easily. Learn more

I do not think this effort will sell more subscriptions, and changes will annoy long term subscribers

looking for women

WorldVitalRecords.com - Family History Bulletin: "Researching your elusive female ancestor can be difficult. Surname changes at marriage and the seemingly lack of records documenting the lives of women can make it difficult to conduct research in the same way you would for a male ancestor.

Newspapers are a rich source of genealogical information. They document a community on a daily or weekly basis. While they do contain the old genealogical standby, the obituary, they also contain so much more. Women can be found in all parts of the newspaper including feature articles, the society pages, advertisements, and more. Newspapers record weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, and other celebrations. They also document the tougher times like divorces, court cases, crime and deaths."

Eastern Washington Genealogical Society

Eastern Washington Genealogical Society, Spokane, Washington: "EWGS was founded in 1935 with six interested people and a handful of books. In 2005, EWGS celebrated its 70th anniversary, now counting 270 folks and partnered with the Spokane Public Library to house a collection numbering over a thousand items.
The Society meets the first Saturday of the month in February, March, April, May, November and December. Meetings for January and June are usually luncheon meetings, held in different locations. There are no meetings held in July and August, and the September meeting can sometimes be the second Saturday, depending on how Labor Day falls. The first Saturday in October is the Annual Fall Workshop, held at different sites. The regular meetings officially begin at 1:00pm, but the 'Coffee, Cookies & Conversation' part of the meetings begins at 12:30. The Society also tries to have a Spring Seminar (usually in April). All those interested in genealogy are welcome at any meeting."

Man’s grave marker is a piece of history | Spokesman.com | Jul 23, 2009: "The stone marking the site where Benjamin Patrick Brierley was buried in 1935 might have forever gone unnoticed were it not for the notation stating that he was the grandson of Sgt. Patrick Gass. Gass was the carpenter on the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the man whose journal was the first published work about the famed expedition to and through the western territories of America in the early 1800s.

Brierley is a direct link to this important piece of history courtesy of his grandfather. Not much is known about Benjamin Brierley, but what is known was discovered by Donna Potter Phillips, a member of the Eastern Washington Genealogical Society, when her group embarked on a service project to help clean up that section of the cemetery about five years ago. When she discovered the marker, she began her research into the man’s background."

All Wales Lookup Exchange

All Wales Lookup Exchange: "Welcome to the new look Welsh Lookup Exchange pages. Although designed to cater for all Wales, there is at present no Lookup Exchange for the counties of North Wales (Anglesey, Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire and Flintshire). The Monmouthshire pages are also listed for completeness, though are hosted separately.

This database contains a list of reference works/books which volunteers are willing to search for specific entries. Despite its name you aren't required to 'exchange' anything and it's free. To ask for a look-up, please click on the volunteer's name next to the item. Requests should be specific: give as much detail as you can. Abuses of the kindness of volunteers may cause them to withdraw their names so please don't ask for all references to a common name, or for time-consuming research. If there are two volunteers against any item then only one should be approached at a time."

Soldiers in Later Medieval England

The Soldier in Later Medieval England: "The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) has awarded a Research Grant worth just under £500,000 to Dr Adrian Bell of the ICMA Centre and Professor Anne Curry of the University of Southampton to challenge assumptions about the emergence of professional soldiery between 1369 and 1453.

The project has an innovative methodological approach and will be producing an on-line searchable resource for public use of immense value and interest to genealogists as well as social, political and military historians. The project employs two Research Assistants over three years and also includes one Doctoral Research Studentship - all of whom began work on 1st October 2006. The whole team is working on a jointly authored book, conference papers, and articles."

A Personal Service not just a Certificate Supplier.


C5D (Certificates in 5 Days) has been around almost eleven years now and during that time has established a reputation for being reliable and efficient as well as easy and friendly to deal with. Besides supplying your certificates, I'd be happy to look at any brickwalls that might need knocking down, although I can't promise to do that.

Certificates in 5 Days. Obviously I can't get them to your letter box in that time, but I can scan or transcribe them to the <in box> of your e mail address, so if speed of information appeals to you, then read on !

The Service:
Certificates are obtained and scanned to you.
Certificates are obtained from the ONS unless 'original copies' including signatures are usually supplied from the local office.
On receipt by me, they are scanned or a transcription e mailed to you. It's your choice. The default option is a scan.
The entries are then posted by air mail to you.

Other services may appear cheaper, but often exclude fees for postage and packing, and most will not scan the certificates as they come through. If you'd care to compare prices, just click on one of the adverts below."
