    It was an excellent webinar packed with valuable insights and a ton of useful links to explore! Highly recommend it to others interested in Buckinghamshire records. So much local knowledge included. Wished I live closer so that I could explore myself!

      Thank you so much for your positive feedback, Wesley! That’s the thing with thus county, not much is online, but that is hopefully changing in the future! Hopefully I’ve given you some ideas about records that you can find online or access from afar.

      Hopefully I haven’t overloaded you, Diana! If you have access to the syllabus it will act as a guide to the many sources mentioned and give you other things to explore. Feel free to watch it over again… even in small sections.
