Something new to put my energies into....
I'm not sure whether this shouldn't reside in the "Work" category but we'll see. A friend of mine asked me to do some investigation on behalf of a friend of his. It seems he had relations way back in the 19th Century who came from (or lived in) Liverpool.
I nipped up to the Records Office at lunch time to see what sort of resources they have there. Tons, is the answer! They have censuses, electoral rolls and all that jazz, dating back to the early 1800s but it's all on microfilm. It's going to take a lot of digging but it'll be interesting to say the least.
I was also provided with several online resources, unfortunately some of them require payment and I'm inherently mean. Takes a lot of the sense of achievement out of it too but here are a few of them.
