Just to thank Richard Heaton and the SemSub committee for setting up an excellent Seminar today. I was in two minds as to whether to attend, but it was excellent. Christopher Hilton, their senior Archivist was refreshingly enthusiastic and keen to attract users. We were introduced to many potential name-rich sources, even if we thought we did not have medical ancestors. Also several speakers discussed how the records could provide social context if not names. The number of attendees getting their Wellcome library tickets (free) IRL or planning to do this online (as, like me, they did not have proof of address), attests to the potental usefulness of the Wellcome library and archives. But you can do it online: http://wellcomelibrary.org/using-the-library/joining-the-library/ NB a bonus was that the newly opened restaurant upstairs turned out to be only charging half price (until 13th Feb), so I had a fab lunch for £3.75. Just a shame all of us did not know that! Penelope Burton GOONS 4896 QUESTED

I second Penelope's comments. It was an excellent seminar and I also particularly enjoyed Christopher Hilton's inspiring talks. A Wellcome Library ticket is a particularly valuable asset for genealogists because it gives you free access to a large number of databases, many of which can be accessed from home with your library card. http://wellcomelibrary.org/using-the-library/how-to/databases-a-z/ Debbie Kennett Member no. 4554 CRUWYS/CRUSE/CRUISE one-name study http://cruwys.blogspot.com http://one-name.org/name_profile/cruwys http://www.familytreedna.com/public/CruwysDNA
