When I first started...It's beautiful, Katrina. When I first started this journey back through the centuries the records I looked at were all stored in the smaller building next door - New Register House - and the dome room walls were lined with the original record books. Not that we got to look at them then. By that time they had all been put on microfiche and there was a lot of walking to and fro for your relevant fiches stored in drawers in a wide passage encircling the dome room. All on computer now, and you can see pictures of the old parish records sometimes quite illegible till you get into the swing of the 16th/17th century handwriting. More recent records are on certificates where you can actually see in various cases the signature of an ancestor. I find that in itself quite exciting!<br />Glad to see you back on Pining!Evelyn/Ev/Eveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17628952260132857512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489943261763343563.post-47871742985548569802013-06-15T23:27:40.869+01:002013-06-15T23:27:40.869+01:00I've never actually been inside Register House...I've never actually been inside Register House, it looks lovely.
