Hi all, Please can anyone share with me any tips for Web-based/CD-based Genealogy? My experiences of genealogy were set aside some 10 years ago (pre-web) when I just got so sick of having to travel to London, and queue up in either the Census Office, or at St Catherine's House. In those days you then had to wait a couple of weeks for the appropriate Marriage/Death/ Birth Certificate - which was then usually the wrong one! I see the web has changed all this and modern researchers seem to have access to (their own CDs?) a whole mass of instant access to databases. Can anyone send me a few suggestions of what is available, suggestions for CD-must-haves, tools must-have, WEB-site must-know-abouts, 'Online databases' which are available, and general tips and tricks of this new approach to family research? Also what to avoid ! DO people still go to St.Cath;s house, or can you order up Certificates by email? For example - how accurate is the IGI database these days - it used to be very incomplete - listing ony 25% of names in some areas. I would be happy to summarise information and circulate it or Web-page it, - if indeed such a summary-package-page does not already exist! regards to all
