Hello new addicts, (if you aren't yet, you will be). Practical Family History February 2004 edition is excellent value for beginners. Short articles with plenty of meat in them. Enjoy. Keith

Hi Louise Most WHSmiths should stock them, although some smaller ones might not. You should be able to to ask WHS to order you a copy in every month, there are quite a few monthly mags for us intelliegent (!) people who try and trace there ancestors. Liz

Lou, you've got a good memory! Moved from Nuneaton last June, to Alnwick; in November to a hamlet near Bamburgh; in December back to Nuneaton. Hoping to buy a house back here this year if the prices don't keep increasing!
