Absolutely fabulous. The whole team are fantastic, Hughie, Sandra & others. Happy to listen to you talk about your family, tell you about theirs. Look hard for your answers and just as bummed if they don’t find them but absolutely just as excited as you are when they do discover a family photo or information for you.
Gave my cousin & I as much time as we needed. Amazingly bounced between the two family lines we kept asking about. Could happily spent all day (week) there hunting & hoping.
