No problem for an A3 scanner or alternatively a digital photo of it

I thoroughly enjoyed this programme and appreciated his (Greggs) sincerity at all the sad things that had happened.  I think he felt humbled.

I did think though that perhaps it wasn't an amazing mass of bad things ... probably just compared to our lives now
we couldn't imagine that many things happening and how devastating it would be  but then I thought of people in my tree women widowed 3 or  4 times , husbands setting up home elsewhere, lots of dead infants people in the workhouse, suicides etc  to think it maybe wasn't looked on like that in those days ..  sounds harsh but hope you get what I mean?

Yes, I do get what you mean, baggygenes, I was thinking exactly the same.

There is no doubt that poor man suffered an awful lot of tragedy, but I think most of us avid FH researchers have realised just how hard our ancestors' lives were, even if we can't ever truly understand it.

Personally, I felt this was a really good episode.  I found myself wrapped up in the story of Gregg's ancestors, and able to ignore the usual niggles about how the records miraculously appear!
