If you are having problems tracing your family history try using the "Sheffield records on line" website. It is free and the staff are most helpfull and knowledgeable. They helped solve a problem for me in minutes that I had spent ages researching. It is superb.

I have managed to find information on Sheffield Indexers that I had searched for elsewhere without success, another good site.

Thanks for that info Harvey 19 and Tuppie. I have been stuck for a while with regard to family tree records. I shall certainly make use of the sites that you have given me. If you have any others that you have found useful then I would be grateful.

You could try Freebmd and www.familysearch.org. The beauty of Sheffield records on line is that you pose a question and others will try to help you using their experience and access to census records etc. Phil.
Grannypat have you tried these ?
Sheffield & District Family History Society , www.1914-1918 and
www.findagrave.com all are very helpful sites .

Thanks Gracie and Harvey 19,
As soon as we get this holiday over I shall really get down to it. I have made a note of all these sites (some of them I already knew but not all) and hopefully it will be full steam ahead. There will be no holding me now. Thanks for your help.
Happy New Year

Good hunting, Phil.
