Just wanted to share the Francis Frith collection with you. Tap 'Francis Frith' and the village, town, or city you're interested in; and 9 times out of 10 the collection will have something. I've done it for all the areas Im researching. The pictures can be saved to your pc, and I recently put some on a disc and printed them off, they came out brilliantly, as good as any new postcard. I won't be renewing when my membership runs out in a week (although will be continuing with my tree), so would like to say a sad goodbye to my friends and co-workers on here. All the best in your own searches! x

Im not going for another week, you lot will have me all emotional in a minute lol. Husband has just pointed out that it might be slightly prohibited to copy the Francis Frith photos and have them printed out. (Not that anyone would know, you just use the digital machine at Tescos!!) Thought I'd better pass that on, as I dont want to be responsible for anyone getting into trouble! Laura, Kim, and Krystyna, I'll miss you :-( xxx

Oh dear Romany,
You often gave me a chuckle, an idea, or a thought about family. I've never had any reason to post to a thread of yours, but I'll miss 'seeing' you. Break out the tissues.
All the best,
B
