Beside lots of new products, we have taken on three new suppliers at Parish Chest; Leicester Parish Registers, English Parish Registers and Video Heritage.  Please take a peek as they may be selling exactly what you are looking for.

Not too long to wait now, so we are trying to get everything ready for the major family history event of the year, 'Who Do You Think You Are?-Live' which is being held at Olympia 15th to 27th. February.  This is a huge show with something for everyone.  I have some complimentary tickets, so if you would like one or two, just send me a S.A.E.  First come, first served!

I am amazed at the lack of service which is around nowadays, especially since businesses are supposedly having a hard time in the recession.

I arranged for my daughter's laptop to be overhauled by a firm in Redruth.  I was to deliver the laptop to them on Wednesday morning, but when I found the premises, the office was locked. A fellow in a neighbouring office (nothing to do with the computer firm) said that I should leave the laptop with them and they would hand it over to the chap when he finally arrived.  Right!  Like I am going to just hand over a valuable laptop computer, without any discussion of what was needed, how long it would take, or the cost of the work!  Give me a break!

Last year, another firm, desperate for work, did some web development work for me.  Not only did these people try and overcharge me at the end of the job, they would not correct the errors on the site.  Mind you, knowing the so-called boss of this firm spends several days a week at Business Breakfasts telling everyone how marvellous he is, he probably doesn't have time for, or is incapable of doing any real work. A real poseur!

I was really surprised to receive an email from Elizabeth Davies, of 'Your Family Tree' magazine, telling me they are planning an email campaign, and asking me if we would sell our clients email addresses.  Let me state for the record that Parish Chest and British Genealogy NEVER sell, or part with any of our clients details.
