Thanks for the heads-up. I’ve a few loose ends in Australia with two of my war dead so I’ll try to free up the time to check them out today. Also robustly kicking myself that I had forgotten to check for such openings round about 26 January!

Thanks for the tip. I also use Family Names from home, logging in from my local library. Bookbub is a new find for me. It delivers a daily email alerting you to active cut price offers (99p) for both Kindle & Kobo. Got a few useful military books recently for background for my war graves blogs.

Definitely! I always point out that every line of descent that we've ever traced effectively ends (or starts!) with a 'brickwall' and that every time we break down a 'brickwall' we instantly create two more - which is far too depressing - so I like 'treetops' as a concept. It suggests opportunities!

Absolutely delighted to purchase the Kindle version of Putting your Ancestors in their Place, &I look forward to reading it. The 2014 version has been so useful to me over the years and I regularly recommend it to my U3A groups. 👍👍👍

How delightful! I am sorely tempted to try this out because I hear in it the impelling voice of my family’s “receipts”. 😜
