Another superb webinar from one of my all-time favourite presenters. (P.S. – In FreeBDM’s list of counties, Durham is listed under C as ‘Co. Durham’.)
Thank you for the great tools & tips. I have already found some photos from the little town where my grandmother was born, which really helps bring her history to life for me since I didn’t know her well.
Very comprehensive. Will need to watch again.
Excellent

I loved the webinar today. The presentation was clear and I learnt so many new (to me) options to search for my English ancestors. Thank you so much.
