Looks like a really interesting set of records, but just wondering how people are using it for their family tree? I have a few potential matches, but I'm not sure how to make sure they are 'mine'. I hope others are having more success!

At a first look I've found the farm rental records the most useful but I already knew the area where the family farmed - I've been able to piece together when they farmed where so it's been useful for me.  I already have wills for the family so these are just extra pieces to the jigsaw really.
