Always great to rummage in the recent acquisitions to the roll pedigree collection in Society of Genealogists archives. This pedigree (1154-1621)of the Bodenham family of Herefordshire & Rutland compiled by William Camden 1621 came in last year and is rather a treat #genealogy

While browsing through the thumbnails of the scanned 20,000 sheets in our MS Roll Pedigree Collection in anticipation of my forthcoming course on the Art of the Pedigree, I am delighted to find the Heintz and Helman pedigrees next to each other #genealogy

I see MoJ has announced outrageous increase in probate copy costs from £1.50 to £16 from 17/11 . Remember genealogists that FamilySearch Catalogue has digital copies of the wills from 1858-1925 viewable via FS Centres & affiliate libraries etc such as Society of Genealogists for free
