remy i was just going ask craft if she knew what paperwork is created when an illegitimate birth is legitimised by the marriage of the registered parents duing the life of the child, it';s years since i covered the topic and I have fogotten but craft may recall.
dot I am not an expert on genealogy like you.......I don't know why you don't become a self-employed genealogist........I am just quite good at trolling through a load of data........fascinating isn't it?
craft i was a professional genealogist 20 years ago, then i taught it for 5 years at the CRO and enjoyed that a heck of a lot more. Now i thoroughly enjoy helping others into the hobby, that's enough for me now.
sara I only started my family tree about 5 years ago.....and got completely bugged....at the moment I have about 7130 in my tree........I have also done trees for a few other people.....it's fascinating and mortifying......
