I’ve been so busy over the weekend. My two teens were away which meant I had time to myself! This happened to coincide with free access to the newspaper collection on Find My Past!
I’ve added a few interesting characters to my family tree and it has jumped from 584 to 623 people in the last two weeks! Eeek. Some of the people led quite extraordinary lives and/or had unusual names, which meant there was a lot of information to be found about them. I was also able to search the free newspapers to find out even more. Newspapers certainly add a new dimension to endless census and BMD data.
Free access to the newspapers ends today which is good for me, as I really need to concentrate of downloading my data from Ancestry. I do feel I could manage it by the end of the year, and then I will have to go back and make sure I have an up to date list as I started out there were only 321 people in my tree – which means I’ve added over 300 people in 8 months!
