Archives

Just as a matter of interest, a lot earlier this morning, I went into "who's on line" and after the usual insomniacs I see "guest" and they were viewing "Archives". I looked into one of said archives and was quite fascinated with the story there.

Is there a way of accessing the archives other than going into "who's on line" and hoping that a guest is looking at them?

If you want to look for a particular name, place, or word then you can search the forums by using the 'search' link in the first blue 'banner' at the top of the page. You can refine your search by using the 'advanced search'.

Alternatively, pick a forum, and if necessary a sub forum, and either start reading the threads from the current page backwards, or go to page one, and then work your way forwards. You can click only on threads where the title grabs your attention, or you can peruse every single one in its entirity.(spelling??). :)

Or you could do it the quick way as suggested by Bo Peep :) How long have I been a member of this forum? You'd never guess it was 5 years would you? |dunce2|

I was reading a story about a woman who was hanged and it was a bit of a bodge job by the hangman and was left hanging alive for quite some time, I may be getting confused now but I think the lodger did it, apparently there was a deathbed confession.

Hi Pam

I've just got back in there using the method I used this morning, was reading one of your posts from 2005 about the LFHS inquests Cd. I didn't know about that, I feel another purchase coming on :D

Thanks


Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and you will see Archive next to the, Contact Us / British Genealogy, etc. buttons.

|oopsredfa oh yeah, there it is. Thank you very much Bo Peep

I'm never one to discourage people from buying LFHS products :D, but I know how disappointing it is to buy something that you think will give you a massive clue about something, only for it not to deliver.
LFHS do something whihc may be unique amongst the FHS in that they publish an index of names in some of their publications. I know that names in baptism,marriage, burial, and census indexes are excluded: not sure about some of the other smaller more 'localised' indexes, e.g. inhabitants of Boston in the late 18th century.
So lincolnshirefhs.org.uk with www. in front.
Select second box in the 'stop press' section, then the third 'click here' - to view the index of names in LFHS publications.
If you do order, please note that there are now two volumes of inquests, but it will detail which one beside the name.
Scroll down this list (http://www.parishchest.com/shop/index.php?cmd=listlinkeditems&cat=D6973&supplier=&breadcrumb=Societies+%26+Groups%3ALincolnshire+FHS :Miscellaneous+Publications+on+CD) :) for slightly more in-depth coverage details.
