Hi   I wonder if someone could help me? I live in the UK and have recently been looking at the records from the Tasmania records office.I am trying to trace records of my great-great-great grandfather who was transported on the jupiter in 1833 arrival on 27/5/33 convict/ref number 726.   I was trying to look for his details in the con 27/1/6 file to see if I could find out where he was assigned but there maybe a problem as page 45 ends in H and page 46 starts with M. Is it possible a page is missing? His name is shown as Nicholas Landfear according the transportation records.   I obviously can't easily check this myself. I have emailed the archives but no-one has replied. Does anyone know if there may be another copy somewhere?   Janine

To be honest its a rarity anyone uses cheques these days but if you wanted to do that you would make it out to "Cash" But its a bit risky as anyone finding it would be able to cash it Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Never heard of that on this side of the pond. > > How would you write a check to someone who will need to cash it at a teller window? > > Gale Gorman > Houston

Nivard, I received a quick reply from Ireland today telling me their birth records only go back to 1864. I sent my 2nd great grandfather's birth date off to them on March 30th and I was surprised to get a response so soon. So now where do I turn? In their reply they mentioned www.nationalarchives.ie and www.ireland.anglican.org as possible sources. Do you know of anyone I could hire to do some in person searching? Gale Gorman Houston

Hi Mark It dates way back To cross a cheque (draw two parallel lines across it) means the cheque (Check to you) has to be passed through a bank account and cannot be drawn over the counter Most cheques I have seen in recent years have the lines printed on them already But in the dim distant past we would draw two lines across the cheque and write "account payee only" in the space between the lines It just means its safer for the cheque issuer Frankly its about time they took paypal or similar Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > The instructions on the PA1S form say, in part: > "Cheques or Postal Orders should be crossed and made payable to" > > What in the world does "should be crossed" mean? > I've found several wills in the Probate Calendar and I'd like to order > copies (I'm in the USA) so I'll have to send an International Money Order. > =Mark

Never heard of that on this side of the pond. How would you write a check to someone who will need to cash it at a teller window?

While you're having fun with the 1940 census don't forget the fate of the SSDI http://tinyurl.com/c42ak73 J. Asche

I am trying to find a genealogist in Bledsoe Co., TN for a friend. Please send me your name if you can research in that county and I will forward it to her. She needs help locating documentation from early county records for a DAR application. Thank you, Dixie

Listers,   I have been looking for 58 years for information that would lead me to the parents of Amasa White.  This is my first White post in three years.   According to a journal which was kept by my grandfather, George Leon DeBourney White, Sr., his grandfather, Amasa White, was born in Salem, Essex County, Massachusetts, in December, 1787, however the information on the headstone of Amasa White, Sr. indicates that he was born in 1785.   Amasa White married Martha (Polly) Tyler, who was born ca. 1793, in Massachusetts, the daughter of John Tyler and <Unknown>. Amasa White died September 16, 1838, in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, New York.   The journal kept by my grandfather says the children of Amasa White and Polly Tyler were Daniel White, Jane White, Dennis White, John White, Mary White and Amasa White, Jr.   Thanks for any input.

Hi Nancy To save you the bother, they do not accept credit card or paypal You need the form PA1S (not immediately obvious is it) http://hmctscourtfinder.justice.gov.uk/HMCTS/GetForm.do?court_forms_id=739 Details are on it I would try and check that there is a will first by consulting the Probate Calendars Ancestry have 1861 to 1941 (less 1899 to 1902 & 1910 & 1911) If there are just letters of administration they are unlikely to tell you more than you would already know from the probate calendars If you are unable to check them, the fee includes a four year search and copies Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) Pat, I am using the UK Probate Register website at the Justice department http://www.justice.gov.uk/courts/probate/copies-of-grants-wills as I am wanting to get a copy of a will. Several people suggested I try to pay through Pay Pal, but I am not even finding where to email them to ask if they will accept pay pal. I think I will fill out a form and send in a money order from the Post Office and let them know that I'd be happy to wait for it to clear before they send me the Will and see if they will accept that. Unless someone knows some other source to get a Will from England? Thanks again everyone! Nancy

Anybody familiar with the late John Wigley born around 1794 birth place unknown, married a Harriett Porter at St. Martins Birmingham Warwickshire on the 5/1/1824 children John Richard, Robert Nathaniel. Richard Joseph. George Henry. Edward Anthony.2 mths on the 1841 census and a Isabella Davis 15 female servant outside census county. John and Harriett didn't appear on the 1851 census the family are living with eldest brother John Richard and wife Elizabeth Westwood, however he did sign his name on the marriage of John Richard and Elizabeth on the 21/10/1849, he was a clerk at this time.

Nancy I'm sorry to say I don't think that sending American Money orders will work -- at least from your end. As I read it, IMOs are all they will accept, other than checks. A thing you could try is to contact your own bank and see if they can draft a check (in pounds sterling) as it might be less expensive. Others (in similar circumstances) have suggested getting cash (again, from your bank, but they'll have to order it unless you are in a large metro area, probably) and wrapping it in foil (no, I don't know why -- x-rays, I guess), and sending it that way. They may not like it, but cash is cash! Otherwise, the only wills I know about are apparently earlier than what you are wanting, (before 1858) and that is the National Archives (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ ) Good luck on this.
