Member Since: February 2004 Posts: 0 Send Message	I am visiting the FRC in London next wek for the first time, can anyone give me advice on the best way to find what I'm looking for. Thanks I've managed to trace back a way and I want to fill in some gaps. I've been obtaining BMD certs but it's getting expensive. The biggest problem I have is tracing my Mum's family, Faldo. I have copies of certs but can't find any of the family in 1901 census. Really just wondered how easy it was to find info.

	Maggie. What are you loking for? Basement has cloakrooms with lockers and tables and chairs , sandwich machines, drinks machines, etc. Ground floor has all the births, marriages, deaths indexes from 1837 to 2002 with very helpful reception staff, adoption records, overseas births, etc. First floor has 1841 to 1901 census, etc. Hope this helps. It is not at all daunting and I have found plenty of help both from staff and visitors. Enjoy and good luck. Jean.
