Comment on My Scottish Trial records have arrived! by Loretta Orford

Have previously ordered records from The National Archives for my Step 3 x Grandmothers trial and associated records. Very happy with the service and extremely quick delivery by post to Australia. Would highly recommend and will be using again.

Comment on MyHeritage buys FamilyLink and WorldVitalRecords by Beverley

I have found Family Link pretty useless. Sometimes it will tell you that there are records, but you can’t get to them. EG Today the 3 UK marriages for one person I was looking for appeared, but only 1 image to access so that was pretty useless. It might be good for USA records, but poor in comparison with Ancestry for UK and Australian records. Their replies to queries are not very good either. I will not be renewing.

Comment on Where did my convict die? by Debbie Dunne

Really interesting read. Timothy Baverstock was an uncle of my 3x gt grandfather, Samuel Baverstock (Samuel was transported in 1834). Amazing that you managed to unearth these documents in your research into the reporting of convicts deaths, thanks for sharing. A really great article.

Comment on Fixing old photographs by Mark

You did a great job. The eye if fine and I agree with your decision to simply crop the woodwork at bottom; frankly it wouldn’t have added much to the photo.
