I used to use the web site which was a part of familysearch.org but you could check specific towns in counties so as saving a load of time. Help please

Oh dear, now you've got me, lol. I just google for Hugh Wallis and find it that way because it's quicker than trawling through all my favourites. Heather

Heather Does your browser not allow you to group your favourites into folders? I keep all my genealogy bookmarks in a folder - with subfolders for (e.g.) ''BDM & Wills'', ''census'', ''the Law'', ''military'', ''maritime'' and so on. So long as I can remember what sort of bookmark I thought I was saving, there's no problem. But if I forget... ;-) Christine

Hi Christine I haven't managed to put them in folders yet but I'd probably forget which folder they were in, lol. I usually google for everything. Heather

I used to have an incredibly long favourites list that went off the screen (nearly typed page then!) But I've gone through and deleted all the sites I thought would be useful that I've never looked at, and its much tidier. My genealogy folder has sub-folders for bmds and censuses, and sub-folders for counties (with sub-sub-folders for specific counties). Sounds complicated, but I know how to work it. I also have an Archives folder with all the TNA, a2a, LMA etc webaddresses on it. nell
