I've ordered a few certs which when they arrive they are not the correct ones. Iv'e seen a few threads to say what to do with them, can someone just tell me in plain english the best way to let other people have them if they want them without me having to read through all the past stuff please. ta k

Best thing to do - KEEP THEM! They may tie in somewhere along the line, be a cousin or a cousins cousin. However, there is a thread by Honeyrum, will see if I can nudge it, that is a place where you can type the details of the cert onto the thread and then people browse through for ones rerlating to their family. tom
