Yes I was really stunned when I saw how much info there is on there and all for free! As you say, a few teething probs, some of my pages were duplicated but still wonderful resource for us with Norfolk ancestors. |

A great resource. I have cropped each single page of the image(double spread) and then imported into Word, which helps make my copies easier to read. Their feed-back is tremendous - the central part of one of my wills was missing. I e-mailed the ICT dept and within an hour the problem was sorted and I was able to view and download the missing bit. Another tip - the index also brings up wills with other surnames where a person of the 'search name' was an executor. This can confirm family relationships, especially through marriage. Jay |

Oh yes, if you click on the name up comes a thumbnail and you click on that and can control its size so you can sit there reading it - Ive saved a lot of mine to read later. |

Hi Heather I've had a look and found some Macks on there. Do you know if you can magnify the images at all? Jeannie |

A brilliant person on FamilyTree Forum just flagged this one up - oh oh - 5 wills on there of mine - and no fee to download. http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.gov.uk/ |
