The bmd records for my Ramsey, Hunts. side of the family are available on fiche, but as i do not have a fiche reader, would it be possible to take them to my nearest RO and ask if I could use theirs???????????/ Kathlyn

I have taken fiche to the library and used their reader, when it was a quiet time. I think a Record Office might not be too keen, as it might look to other users as if you are taking home their records and would need some explaining. Gwyn

I agree with Gwyneth. I just ring my library and they book me a reader.....They have no problem with my using it to read my own fische. Chris
