1921 census transcription issues
I recently “upgraded “ my Find my Past subscription to include unlimited access to the 1921 census. Using Family Tree Analyser I extracted all the records from my tree (I use Family Historian) and started going through them. It’s quite a task as I have just under 10000 records, although many hundred...

Re: JFK
I can also still remember the day when JFK was assassinated. We were watching tv at home and the programme was interrupted. When his brother was killed, I was at school.

Find my past
It looks like FMP have been fiddling around with their home page again. I always use the “Search all record sets” option to search and the other day it disappeared.

My Heritage DNA
Until Sunday 8th, My Heritage are allowing you to upload your DNA from some other providers free of charges (it says forever). Easiest way is probably to search for “upload dna results to my heritage” which took me straight to the start page. You need to create a free account if you don’t have one b...

Re: Samuel Allcock 1753
Hucknall Torkard has 79 images for overseers records But in them, starting image 48 , are some parish register transcripts. I don't know by whom, or when, or why https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/image-details?imageGroupNumbers=8068205&rmsId=M99Q-S83&imageIndex=47&singleView=t...
