Our own Society's search services will be available for consultation, whilst we will also be manning a beginners' helpdesk. Additionally, there will be computing demonstrations, which will give advice on such things as which genealogical software package to choose, and the use of the internet in family history. Special features will include :- 1. a joint stall put together by Oxfordshire Record Office and Oxfordshire Studies, which will give advice on the use of their resources. 2. the presence of the society's "Transcribed Wills" database co-ordinator, who will be able to undertake searches and give advice on those thorny wills' problems. Best wishes. Paul Gaskell Publicity Officer Oxfordshire Family History Society Website : _www.ofhs.org.uk_ (http://www.ofhs.org.uk/)
