He was probably a friend of mine LOL
Actually i do my homework on the libraries long before I leave home and EMail them for info on what I’m looking for and their times and if need be I ‘book’ a seat or room for the day or days I’ll be there...you usually have to book a couple of weeks ahead...I also find out what copying machinery etc they have...Both Glasgow Mitchell Library and the Robbie Burns Library in Kilmarnock staff were very helpful and told me a lot before I went...that way you dont waste all day searching when you get there...
Often the research centers arent open every day or the staff member is not there...especially if they are a volunteer...I make friends by EMail and usually they are nice and give me advice etc...
I got to do FindMyPast for free for 2 days at the Robbie Burns and the copies of the actual documents were about 25 cents. I came away with a thick stack :)
Nice. Glad you enjoy it. As far as I know, I have no Scottish ancestry. Irish and English. Hubby is from a border clan....Johnstone. They still have a chief that he’s had contact with. I’ve just always wanted to go to Scotland......so I did.
