9th September

A much cooler day today, but very busy with 9 attending and 3 contributing from home.
We have two new friends: Jenny and Keith.
JD worked with Jenny and Keith to establish where they were in their researches and help them onward.
Jan is investigating her Welsh ancestry with promising results
Elizabeth managed to turn up two marriage records from the 1700s on her paternal line: she is a happy bunny!
Linda is still trying to sort out the mystery of her 2nd Great grandfather. There might be issues with his birth, too. It seems there may also be skeletons in cupboards to rattle.
Mary (from home) is dealing with a DNA contact and hopes to update us next time. Exciting times!
Adrian (from home) worked on correcting information about his 5th Great grandfather’s marriage and a marriage bond set up. We need to know more about these, Adrian!
Sue is reviewing her copious notebooks and working on transferring information to her Family Historian software. She also helped one of our new friends, Jenny, in starting her Tree
Dora (from home) was chasing her 5x grandmother, who married John Knox. (Not THAT John Knox)
Ana is assembling all her information on certificates and censuses. This is proving very useful in identifying gaps in her knowledge
Eileen worked on 16th Century Parish Records locating wills.

We meet again on October the 14th.
