Hi Joan The main thing is to take photo ID with you such as your passport as the first thing you have to do is register and get a User Card with your photo on it (they take the photo whilst you sit there). Take a pencil and sharpener as no pens in the reading room and have a good look at the catalogue before you go to try to identify what you might want to see. Take a camera as you are allowed to photograph documents and select a table near the windows to get good light for your photos as flash is not allowed and your table number and letter is your reference for document delivery. Get there as early as you can and be patient as you wait for your documents to be delivered to the lockers from which you collect them one at a time. Don't be surprised as how little you get done in a day!

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Thank you everyone for your suggestions on this, I think I will have to organise a trip to Kew - has anyone any tips on how to make the most of a visit as I've never been there before. Also just to say, I'm happy to go round the graveyards of St Martins in Ruislip and the church at Harefield and take photos if anyone has relatives who have ended up being buried there. Kind regards Joan
