Mark has obviously not heard of "poets day." Mike Tebbutt.

Why do record offices, libraries etc pick Friday for their closures? If you live out of London, Friday night is one of the cheapest for hotels. So it makes sense to come up on a Friday, visit a record office, stay over night, visit the record office on Saturday (if it's open) and then buzz off home. Sunday night is also cheaper in London hotels but the record offices are open that day so you'd only have Monday to do your research. Midweek is usually the most expensive in London hotels. I know everyone won't agree but I just needed to get that off my chest! Mark @ Yetminster (which isn't in London)

This seems to be a year of anniversaries. Those with Irish ancestors may be interested in the following. On 1st October the Irish Genealogical Research Society is celebrating its 75th anniversary by holding a symposium entitled Some Irish comings and goings - Aspects of Irish Migration. This is an all day event in central London see http://www.igrsoc.org/symposium.html for more details. Regards Jill Williams

Hi, If you've not already done so, would suggest joining the Herts and/or Beds Lists for possible more local knowledge regarding local newspapers and also maybe private family papers of the Earl of Verulam. We have two ancestors who worked as gardener and a gamekeeper to Lord Spensers relatives whose letters or lives have been printed in which they were mentioned, the gardener having died at Wimbledon whose gravestone was erected by them mentioning that he had been a faithful employee. These type of references also give you a good idea of the types of lives they lived as their 'horse trainer' etc. would have travelled with their employer to race meetings and their other estates.

Hi Jon Are you aware of the obit of Tommy Coleman in the The Morning Post, November 12, 1877; pg. 2 ? Sounds like you already know a lot about him so you might have seen it. If you haven't seen it I will send it off-line. Mark @ Yetminster

Richard If you don't mind taking a look at your collection then I'd bite your hand off. His name was Thomas Coleman and he died in the Barnet registration district in the Oct-Dec quarter, 1877. (I have ordered his death certificate but this is as precise as I can get currently). He was 81 and had trained horses around St Albans for both the Brockett family and the Earl of Verulam in the 1825-40 period. Bankruptcy then followed him around over the next 20 years or so. His claim to fame is that he organised and was the steward for the first ever steeplechase held in England.

Good evening I am researching the life of a horse trainer who worked in the Herts/Beds area between 1820 and abt 1860. He achieved notoriety for various reasons in the 1830/1850 period. I am trying to find obituaries for him - he died in 1877 in north London. So, I am looking for advice on which sporting (in general) or specific turf-related newspapers/journals were published in the 1870s. To date I have come across 'Baily's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes' which has potential and have added this to my list to look at next time I visit the British Library. Thanks in advance for any help. Jon

Until then we have John Hanson doing sterling work on providing training on Historian. And I know it is possible to write programs somewhow so that versions are created to run in the same way on Windows mac and Unix (as I use one such for e-mail and usenet). Perhaps one day the various Genealogy software authors will migrate to that programming environment and deliver just what you want. > There is another Mac related application that does not seem to have > been mentioned: GedView.

Thank you Tim for your time & effort in trying to organise this event and it would seem from the response that it will be well worthwhile. However, I very happily use Family Historian on my Mac via a simulation programme (VirtualBox but there are plenty of others) so any Mac specific alternative would need to be superior. But I would be interested in attending to find out what is available to match the breadth and depth of Family Historian. If we can encourage enough people in the same situation as myself to also attend, it may result in a Mac version of Family Historian - now that would be a real bonus. There is another Mac related application that does not seem to have been mentioned: GedView. It runs brilliantly on iPads, iPods and iPhones.

The interesting thing here is the contrast between the reviewers verdict, placing FTM for Mac first, and this comment which is on the FTM for Mac message board on Rootsweb: "Do NOT buy the current (first) version of FTMM! Many of us have had serious problems with it." So I ask the question are the reviewers to be trusted? Or are they journalists first and genealogists second?

I agree that web-based programs are an option and we should consider those. I wonder if they are better suited to a separate seminar for all computer systems on web-based genealogy programs.

Good point about getting the vendors in. TWR Computing used to be the principal vendor in this country, no Mac software support here that I am aware of. It is definitely on the list to go round the vendors at a later date. My first concern is to see what we can do in-house within SoG before moving abroad. TWR Computing only seem to offer two Mac programs: FTMM and Reunion. Loads of PC proggies, though! > Rosemary makes a very good point about running Windows on a MAC and > Family Tree Maker.

I got hold of demo copies of every program I could find and tried them all out to see what I liked. My favourite was an Australian program whose development had already ceased! But it enabled me to find what features I valued most. Different people do genealogy from different points of view. So what I would like to organise is a public showing of as many options as possible and then encourage people to make up their own minds on what they want.
