Yup it is really interesting and I'm amazed at how complex it can be. For instance

1) The User Manual for the Legacy software is 400 pages which is bigger than most applications like Word etc.

2) There's limitations for online research. I'm in Canada and trying to track my family's history in Great Harwood is tricky cos there's not too many Censuses on line.

3) You have to make some assumptions cos

- There's no divorce records online so spouses may change from census to census.

- Some of the handwiting can be undecipherable with spelling mistakes for the written records and you may have to tinker with the brightness and contrast with your image viewer.
