Here are the links to the websites, I referred to in my talk.

Free BMD
(birth, marriage & death records in E & W, from 1837 to 1983)

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Family Search
(for the 1881 E & W Census)

Click on Search > Census > British Census

Ask a librarian at one of the Notts County Libraries, to show you
how to access this free of charge, to see the 1891 & 1901 E & W
Censuses.

If you’re putting records onto a flash drive, then book a
computer which has a USB port.

Remember to take your library card with you.

The General Register Office
… to order certificates online (at £7 each).

If you wish to have a go with the Print Screen button,
this is next to the F12 key on your keyboard. This makes
an excellent copy of your entire screen.

You can then paste this onto a Word document, a Powerpoint
slide, or a rectangle of white canvas in Photoshop.

The keyboard shortcut for pasting is Ctrl + letter V.

To rotate a Word document into Landscape format, click on
File > Page Set-up > select Landscape format.

To save your work, use File > Save As.

Here are a couple of chairs which were kindly donated by
a Nottingham Realcycle member. You can see that they're
being put to good use.



The back numbers of Webuser and Computer Active magazines,
which I brought in today to loan to you all, were another
brilliant gift by a Realcycle member.
