Member Since: April 2004 Posts: 479 Send Message	I'm wantng to buy some soft ware for West Ridings Census searches, specifically Wakefield. Before I spend my money, are these disks any good, which comes recommended and can I buy for a specific place or do I have to buy the full set?? Do I have to buy different disks for different census dates or does a full set give them all. Help!! Sue xx

Reading the actual image is 10 times better than reading a transcript plus you will find many interesting things that you won't get from a transcript for example next door neighbours who were marriage witnesses, Spouses living in the same road, so you get an idea how they would have met etc. Hope this helps. Steve.
