Anyone into geneaolgy? Can you recommend a starter DVD/book package..

[sassy]

...For a Xmas pres for the mil?

She keeps saying she wants to have a look - apparently her family 'used to own the deeds to Warwick jail' . But will be a good pressie I think.

Needs to be pretty straight forward kit, her internet ability is limited, though she can do a bit.

TIA!

Have you told her to join genes reunited on the friends reunited website?

Sorry that doesn't help your pressie problem but mil will love it!

Ta fortyplus, useful tip.

But, as you pointed out, it doesn't solve the present problem...

Anyone else got any recommendations?
