Who When Where

Yes you could wait for him to find, cousins if you want or you could be proactive and search for those cousins yourself. You mention your father has researched your tree back to 1770 so you have a good start there to bring the family shown on the tree forward to the present day by developing the fam...

Yes uncertified meant the burial was not in wool, which is why the minister ran for the constable. There was £5 waiting to be collected, half for the person who reported the breach and half for the poor of the parish. By reporting the minister gained twice, Two pounds ten shillings for himself and t...

Why? All bookings should be on a first come first served basis, if a person has to travel 200 miles or even more to visit the TNA why should they then be penalised more than someone who lives close by the TNA.
