| 20 August 1999 | Recommended Books | I have over 100 books on family history and social history research, so it seems logical to praise those I like and use regularly, and perhaps comment on those which have proven to be less useful for me.

This is your area, we hope you use it wisely. |

Just for fun (and to try out newly acquired skills with JavaScript) there is now a fun time page. Probably doesn't tell you anything you don't already know! I will add a new 'time' label on each page as and when it gets updated, so most pages don't have the link yet. |
