I AM sorry folks, but I really do not understand what the problem is!

My word Roy, you've been back on the list now, what.....2 days maybe and already you sound condescending. Didn't that vacation do your temperament any good? Numerous people on many lists were experiencing difficulties, perhaps you just happened to try it when the site was sorting itself out. No need for you to belabor OUR supposed inadequacy with technology. Might I say it was rather pleasant on the list while you were on vacation. Lighten up! Cheers ~ Sherrie

I'm having the same problem and it's not my browser/computer (I'm at work at the moment). Just putting the www.familysearch.org in says "Done" but doesn't change from my home page. I was on there last night at home and after letting me do a couple of searches I got an error message "SEA nnn - Your request cannot be processed". That was about 8pm GMT. Roy have you got cached pages on your computer and that's why you can still see the site?

But as he says, a day is nowhere near sufficient time! As well as the 1851 census index and the newspaper index (it carries many other things than just deaths), you should also look at the famous Blackburn Registers of Monumental Inscriptions (literally, a monumental piece of work by one man, Arthur Blackburn, in the 1920s and '30s, comprising thousands of MIs from all over the Bradford area) and the books of burgess rolls and electoral registers dating well back into Victorian times. You will also find printed parish registers and much local history material. There is also a branch of the West Yorkshire Archives in Canal Road, Bradford, but this is rather more specialist and I would not particularly recommend going there unless you know of something specific that they have, and it's best to phone and make an appointment first.

Hi Listers, My husband and I will be visiting UK next month and I have been "allowed" one day in Bradford to do my family research (1700 - 1900) and I want to know how to make the most of my precious time and where I could get the most benefit. Thanks, Maureen in Australia

For a map go to http://www.streetmap.co.uk/ and search on the postcode, which is BD1 1NN. The Local Studies library has lots of useful records, far more than you could possibly look at in one day : there is a list at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/YKS/bfhs/bfdlibry.html . I would suggest starting with the card index for the 1851 census and the newspaper index of death notices. Details of opening times are in the Central Library Guide at http://www.bradford.gov.uk/council/libraries/central_page.html . The library is open till 19.30 on Monday to Friday. Drinks and some snacks are available from machines on the ground floor of the Library but some sandwiches would be very useful if you are going to stay all day. Good luck with your research.

Hiya Just thought i drop you an email to tell u i have a new address

Hello, I am new to this list. I have recently found Roger BRANNAN on the Blackburn Census and he said he was born Bradford Yorkshire about 1826. Is anyone else looking for BRANNAN. They do tend to change the spelling from time to time. Joan at Devon
