Don't do what I've just done - looking for marriages for grandad's nephews and nieces, I start in 1943 ............... except it wasn't ............... it was 1843. I looked through 4 years before I realised and yes, I did think it was odd it was handwritten and not typed but I figured that must have been something to do with the war, lolol! So I start again! This time I go through 10 years of marriages without a single find and not surprising, because the total prat that I am is looking for marriages in the year these people were born!!!!! An hour and a half I've sat here doing this!! Going out to shoot myself now. |

You're not alone. I've done that several time, looked in years about 100 year out!. No doubt I'll do it again! |
