Evening all, just thought I would see if anyone else has used books.google.com for their searches. I have done full view searches and tried Kent and Heritage, the surname I'm researching and come up with all sorts of lovely old books with lots of data, even a whole family with deaths listed in Bengal!. It is a great site for rummaging. I dare say others have found it but it is a while since I was on here so thought I would share. Let me know what you think. |
