FIBIS pays off! .....

Hi Folks,
just thought I'd let you know I've had some luck with research at FIBIS. I decided that I'm at a stage where I need to get some professional help on a few fronts. So I paid a small amount to FIBIS research three weeks ago and they have already found the death of William Leys in Calcutta(originally from Crathie) in 1909 and that he was a "Registrar, Hackney Carriages" (whatever that is or was!) and confirmed a marriage I was unsure of. There is more to come apparently. I hadn't had much luck with William Leys other than an inscription on a gravestone in Crathie Kirkyard. That inscription suggested that he was military but I could not get what I wanted chasing things up that way. It also confirmed that his son William George Leys married Evelyn Elizabeth Moyers in India - and there was me spending money on SP and Ancestry etc!!
Anyway, the moral of the story is - if you're far away from London, Edinburgh, etc., a small amount of money spent on research might just do the trick. It has worked for me at any rate.
Happy hunting folks,
Tish
