I found this course via an article in July's Family tree magazine, and thought it might be of some interest, particularly to newer researchers. It's a free online course 'Genealogy: Researching Your Family Tree' by University of Strathclyde on FutureLearn, and starts from today. https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/genealogy?utm_campaign=Share+Links&utm_medium=futurelearn-run_details&utm_source=email I've signed up for the course, which apparently takes 4 hours per week over 6 weeks. It starts from basics, but I'm hoping there will be both some tune-up tutorials and also more advanced stuff.

Yes, Ancestry is having some problems with the e-mail system. Most people have NOT been able to access the Rootsweb archives for some days now and that problem should be resolved shortly. The e-mail servers have been "backed up" with processes waiting to run, a little like the M1 on a Holiday. But, so far, no e-mail has been lost. Volume is down on all the lists, so many of the Digests are waiting for their "trigger point" to be reached before they generate and get mailed. Alas, e-mail, for all it's glory, is not guaranteed. I'll go throw another virgin into the volcano and we'll see if that satisfies the gods. So, if you haven't cleaned off that shelf yet, maybe now would be a good time.

Hi All, Thanks very much for all your replies, this looks like the right one Angie. Thank you Anne for that information, you have helped me in the past a few years ago and I knew that you kind folk on Lincs would help me out. Cheers, Ian there is an entry on freereg.

There is an interesting entry in the Holbeach Union Workhouse Minute book Part 7 (LFHS publication). On the 21st November 1895 an Annie Marlow asked for the Guardians' help in applying for an affiliation order, which means either she has just had, or is going to have, an illegitimate child. There is no follow up entry. The Clerk was directed to assist her. Unfortunately there are no birth registers extant for Holbeach Workhouse, only a death register 1914-1936, which we have published on CD.

Hi Ian Several possibilities Firstly the Emma MARLOW may be her, either named as Emma first but later used Emily, or the local office made a mistake in their quarterly return to the GRO (or the GRO recorded it wrongly) Or she was not born a MARLOW or her age was older or younger than you expect There are other possibilities including her birth not being registered, slim chance by then but still possible If you know the mothers name you could order without the GRO index reference which allows checking points to be added, such as mothers name If they find a match you get the cert, if no match you get a refund Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 15/07/2016 18:06, Ian Ridley via wrote: > Hi Listers, > > I am looking for a birth of my friends Granny.

Hi Listers, I am looking for a birth of my friends Granny. Emily Hall nee Marlow was born around 4th November 1894/5 her family stories say that Emily was born in the workhouse at Holbeach but I cannot find her in the birth Index just an Emma Marlow.

Hi, Missing Lincs, This would be a good time, during the second half of July, to clean off a book shelf or two. Get a box or bag to put your "culls" in, now go through one of your shelves and take every book off the shelf. Blow the dust off of the top and either put the book in the cull bag or put it back on the shelf. If you haven't had it off of the shelf in over 5 years, it should go in the cull bag. Now when you are done with the shelf, decide where to take the cull bag. The local Library might be a good site, or the local (Family) History club, or even the Elder Care home in the nearest real city. I have found that my local elder care facility doesn't care what I read - they put all my books in their collection. But the local Library is far more "politically correct" and "socially sensitive" about what goes into their collections. I sometimes read things written by rebels and outsiders, so I'm probably on some watch lists. Well, I hope they put some of the elders on a watch list. They could use a little scrutiny. Fiona, do not put one of your piles on that empty spot on the bookshelf. We'll get to you later. If you've got a book on the local village's history, but never found any mention of your family, offer it up on this list and let some poor fool overpay you so that they can have the same experience.

That depends where you are. Neither available, seemingly, as an ebook, as yet. But you can click on - 'find library source'. For the first one, I put in both UK and US, as my location, and it's available fairly widely in the national and university libraries and archives.
