I am giving a friend a hand in getting started on this addictive journey. We got lots done on Scotlandspeople and got her beginning nicely back into the 1800's, next stage as pennies allow. <g> We have a potentially interesting character who we are following back to Newfoundland in WW2 -- any ideas about tracing Newfie genealogy would be most welcome as well... more »

Some days back, someone mentioned here the DocumentsOnline at TNA. I went over and yesterday purchased two wills, hoping for a breakthrough.
