I have to say my birthday present of a subscription to Berks FHS has been one of the best presents ever.  You do so much.

Thanks to all those who've produced the most up-to-date, advanced, capable and easy-to-use website I'm aware of and that includes big names, and I do access many different sites!

Thank you to all involved for such an interesting talk today. It seems a real privilege we can access such talks at this time  - and again thank you to the technology that allows it and to you and all your team for enabling the talks to take place.

Just to say thank you so much for all you have put online for members this past 18 months, it's been great! Thanks also for the access to subscription sites which I have made use of and found useful.

Laura Clay

Thank you for your page on Enborne. Having ancestors there from the late 1600s I found it an interesting read. Thanks also to those who have provided transcripts to Ancestry.co.uk. They've been a really big help in my research.
