It’s been a quiet few days treading water before the big trip to the national archives at Kew on Thursday. I’ve even got some prep done so I know what it is I want to look up while I’m there! I’m going to be looking for potential birth records in British East Africa, records of the Metropolitan Police, Court martial records for the Boer War, and potentially some Wills.

I wonder if it’ll be better or worse for everyone else being at WDYTYA Live starting on Thursday.
