I keep getting emails from Findmypast, though I have not renewed my subscription for years. Today I actually followed a link on the message, for once, and found that they have lots of articles on subjects from Tips For Reading Old Handwriting to Finding Murderers and Maniacs.
You don't need to join to read the articles, they are open to all. blog.findmypast.co.uk/expert-tips
Heated Brush recommendation,please.
