I'm so glad I've booked my trip to the National Archives with my Family History Society

Don't expect to be let into the vaults, though, Jan!

I wish they wouldn't show these people doing things that the rest of us would not be able to do - the thought of someone being let loose in the vaults to take stuff off the shelves fills me with horror!  The only time the public get to see behind the scenes is on the organised Saturday tours.

Bill,

I'll be happy just to be able to find their papers; don't really fancy being down in the vaults!

Good luck Jan - I was there with our local FHS branch last week - some good fortune but very frustrating as usual!

I thought it was great.!!! It has really got me thinking as my grandfather was in the Navy in WW1 and I have been told his ship was blown up. He survived but spent that much time in the water it destroyed his stomach lining.

Now I want to know more !!!!!

I've got to be patient; my trip is in early November.  Plenty of time to get as much research done as I can from Dorset.
