if you are stuck for a present have you checked out http://comical-family-tree(.)com. Although I'm sure you could make your own with a little inspiration... Kim

A very useful website I often use,when trying to locate a place,or look at proximity to other places is, www(.)findachurch(.)co(.)uk remove brackets,this is a great map site. Joyce

Heres another good site,transscription of orphanages,workhouses etc in 1901 census. homepage(.)ntlworld(.)com/jeffery(.)knaggs/lnstuts(.)html remove brackets. Joyce

I dont have anything to add, but felt I had to say that this is a brilliant thread. Thank you to all who have posted.

This site is about the lost london streets. You can find out what happened to the street, your ancestors lived in, it tells you if the street has been renamed or demolished. members(.)aol(.)com/WHall95037/london.html

really surprised to find this one not listed, its for US immigrants - www.ellisisland(.)org

You can find lots of nice volunteers who will do lookups for you: ukgenealogy(.)co(.)uk/lookup.htm The east of London fhs site is also good for lookups. Lucia

www.bbti[.]bham[.]ac[.]uk Good site if you have any ancestors who traded in printing,bookselling,stationary,engraving or papermaking. didn't find any of mine but worth a try, most of the 94,000 records they hold are pre 1851. remember to remove brackets as usual Michele

This is a brilliant idea... i look and print out all the time. karen

If you are looking for WW2 forces POWs Sailors etc try www(.)wartime-memories(.)fsnet(.)co(.)uk by-the way this site could do with indexing, any volunteers? Dave Bland

http://www(.)durham(.)gov(.)uk/DurhamCC/usp(.)nsf/pws/Durham+Record+Office+-+DRO+-+Family+History+-+Available+Information This is Durham County Council Records Office Family History Section web site. I use it all the time to prepare for visits to the Viewing Room. Saves time when you have the microfilm number all ready for when you get there. If this link doesnt work try going to www(.)durham(.)gov(.)uk search there for Record Office and then click on Family History. Best place is the Church Records - shown on the left hand side. You even get a potted history of each Church. Good hunting. Linda
