I still like doing it the old fashioned way, the way I have done for the past few decades, going to a records office and looking at microfilm and microfiche machines, but technology is changing the world and it is gradually getting easier to do genealogy online now.

I used to spend hours at Gatacre Road, it was really relaxing and with the car parked (for free) just outside it was easy to nip out for a break.

As I feared when the consultation started, The Hold is the polar opposite.  And I have endless empathy for the Bury and Lowestoft users whose experience has worsened in order to facilitate it.

Thanks Alan and Nick! The year will be 2025! Our very long wait is almost over 🙂.

I have a lot of lines in Suffolk but the lack of records online for the parishes concerned has meant I've never really pursued them properly for a number of years.

Travelling from the North East to Suffolk and back during the week to check the records in person has never been practical - so this will be a real game changer.

Really hoping they do in fact materialise on the 14th - the date is in my calendar!

So excited for this - around a quarter of my ancestry is Suffolk centred and I live 200 miles away, so I’ve had all these lines on the back burner for years!

Crossing my fingers for the 14th  :)

Cambrigeshire: Cockerton, Sharpe, Purkis
Hertfordshire: Rolph, Marvell, Pateman, Hornsby, Gall, Corkett
Norfolk: Crowfoot, Randlesome

Will Ancestry crash on 14th August due to the number of people searching in Suffolk ;) I will be one of them.
