Try and find a different aspect of your work. Yesterday I spent two hours beginning to add a death date, even if it was just before 1980, to all my records that didn't have a death date. It was very tedious, but by using cut & paste, and lining Windows up so that you don't have to move the mouse too much to click the ok button several times, it ended up as a very rewarding afternoon's work. I will be doing m to z today.

I quite enjoy tracing allied lines, but can't get out and about as much as I'd like, for family reasons, now, so am fairly stuck to online. Just "Ancestry" is so expensive!

Hi,

You've probably seen this thread about an Ancestry offer, but just in case.
