Towards the end of 2020, I picked up my Big One! Project for the time in years. With successive Covid 19 lockdowns I had no further excuses!

Changes since last worked on
There have been a number of changes since I last published the 12 reports:
- Discovery of the names of additional ancestors:
Adamson (Neville)
Smithers (Pinnion)
Sly (Nye)
- Publication of the 1939 Register
Work Undertaken
I updated the list of ancestors in:
- the in the Template
- each of the 12 reports and
- the Names Index
adding a note to each name to indicate which family the names come from
Methodology
I had to remind myself on how to compile some more reports!
A. Open a new Family History Research Report for a new name using the Template.
B. Transfer content from existing Progress Report:
- 1. Mini-Family Tree
- 2. Summary of Research to date
- 3. Progress over the years
- 4. Research undertaken
- 5. Other Research undertaken
- 6. Link to summary, Where they were and what they did, and
- 7. Any Family Tree Maker sheets
C. Add Appendices from website:
- Birth, Marriage & Death Certificates held
- Census Records held
- Parish Records held
- Misc Information/Documents Held
D. Look in binder for:
- Misc Information
- any other names to add to Names Index
