Really interesting question! I get so emotionally involved in my research
Doing historical research isn’t just an intellectual enterprise; it’s emotional and embodied.

I sometimes am shocked to hear that not everyone knows about the GRO’s own birth and death indexes and cheaper digital certificate copies for England and Wales. Here’s some more detail. Don’t pay more than you need to!
