Received notifiction that they had added some more data so went in search of my Family.
Have just downloaded some Original Transcripts off this site and feel like I have won the Lottery as it has given me answers that I desperately needed .
Only problem I can see is the sepia coloured paper (being an original) is hard to print out.
