'Pains and Gains, Tips and Tricks'
Report Backs on progress since our last session - the pains, the gains, the tips, the tricks!
Tip (Bev) - News of the UK Census for 1921 - English census records for 1921 are now available on Find My Past - need to register/log in; easy to manage; appear to cost $4.80 per certificate - gives enough info to suggest close to the mark records before needing to pay. (Trial William McGovern b 1911 in Sheffield) Note - https://www.freecen.org.uk/ provides free census results from 1841-1911; doesn't provide whole census for family, but will find person with info on fam/surname.
Resources:

Drawing up a Genogram as a 'mind map' when relationships are unclear and easily confused can be most helpful. Handouts.
