Hi Edward
Have been and got todays Telegraph and please note that you only get the booklet today.
You have to buy the Sunday paper to get the Disc CD Rom !!!

We usually only buy Saturdays paper as that has enough reading for a week !!!

So will think about tomorrows

Hi LindainBerkshire1736004, yes, and I only discovered that the CD is not available with today's paper when I looked on the back of the booklet. Why this wasn't stated on the Telegraph's website I just can't imagine ;). It will take me till next weekend to read today's and tomorrow's Telegraph!

Hi Brenda from Wales, yes, only suitable for beginners, which means that I will find it helpful :). I suppose that if someone had 14 days and could spend 8 hours each day then they could build a family tree by following this guide. Depends on the size of the family!!!

PS After I have finished with the booklet and CD they can go on Ebay!

Edward,
Once you start it goes on and on.You get so far back and want to know more and more,and the further back you go there are more and more branches.
good luck with your tree,and with the help you get on this site,and the ideas you will find a terrific amount of help as I have over the last 6 years from others always willing to help .
