I have been through and checked all the Ancestry UK links I can and have come up with a good list to put on my Legacy file. I do however have a lot of "maybes" and some of these I will be checking by ordering certificate. That's pretty expensive so first I have to go through all my papers and check what ones I have. Its amazing how disorganized a librarian can be.
I will start on the Genes Reunited stuff to make sure I haven't left out anything I've already tracked down. This file seems even more open to circular logic and problems with authenticity but if I work through it I may be able to save some time later. The nice bit about these people is that the emailing and chatting is much more open than Ancestry. Its a bit of a gossip column about dead folk you are related to (which is probably why the links don't seem as authoritative). Someone emailed me and said "you have, of course, read about Anne on the web" and I can imagine a slight eyebrow raise. No! I email back. Tell me. The answer hasn't arrived yet. Horrible scandals?
Almost forgot. I have put a wiki together to be a sort of notepad so the stuff I am finding. Its pretty primitive but I can keep lists there.
