These look pretty cool - as well as being a good test of one's general genealogial knowlege. I will post my scores here after I get a chance to do them.

Did you do them? Let me know how you did!

Been working till late the last couple of days, and tomorrow have a yard sale. Sunday and Monday will be my two days to finally get a breather this week and play catchup here and elsewhere....

[Zenobia]

Well, so far I've gotten 6/10 on the Civil Registration (not bad considering I've never ordered one in my life), and 8/10 in the Census one (I screwed up on the arithmetic question because I was tired and did not read it properly - ha ha!)

[Zenobia]

Okay 9/10 on Parish Registers pt. 1 - I guess I am competant...

8/10 on Parish Registers part 2...

Not with your spulling

[Marpleg A-boynt]

What I know about genealogy could be recorded on the head of a pin (apart from the bits and pieces I picked up sitting next to Zenobia last year)...

With that in mind - and trying to employ commonsense as knowledge was lacking/non-existant :

Eeee! You did better on that one than I did!

I guess you would make a competent genealogist too...

Oh, BTW, it was 'anomaly'

[Marpleg A-boynt]

English Family History II: The Censuses 6/10

I may get to it one day but - nobody gives me time.

Give them a go ! They're addictive

[Cornish Terrier]

I will try mate but have to remove my nose from the grindstone and find a way to unlock the shackles first. ;D

AND there is supposed to be some 'music-related' stuff that I should have checked out a good while back.

Yep, there sure is - I will give you the link again:

Warning - there are quite a few um...'naughty' ones among them, so if you blush easily, you may want to proceed cautiously.

I just did the wills quiz and got 9/10!

I wasn't certain about the requirements for post 1858 wills, since I've never tried to get one...

[Cornish Terrier]

ME BLUSH - I could tell you a story or two 'me ol' mate'. ;D

AND do not forget that I work in a Pub.
