Familytales : a must see
I recently made a search on General Cornwallis. On Familytales I happened to get 96 letters (in full text) of that person and to that person. Made many other searches since, always been satisfied with my findings. Simply amazing.
To quote them:
FamilyTales started out as an online archive of letters from a few families but has since expanded to contain letters from many historic figures. The archive contains documents which can be searched by an individual’s name, a specific place, or by a given year.The index of ALL of the 232 series is now completed
The index of ALL of the 232 series is now completed. Give a try to our improved search engine. Results are now HIGHLIGHTED.

PDF of manuscripts… plan B
A month ago, I began appending the manuscripts to the letters and documents in the Series 41, 136, 137, 139, etc. Experience prove it was a bad idea, since many users of this site cannot access the PDF, who are too “heavy”. So I stopped it.
The plan B is on its way. I started digging in my collection of transcripts, about 2 000 letters and documents total… Work in progress, see Serie B.121.
