Cool Resource
Britain's National Archives has released some of their records online....including digital copies of all PCC wills dating back to 1384. Very cool. Or at least it would be if their server wasn't down at the moment.
You can also access the 1901 Census there, and they're in the process of putting the First World War Campaign Medal Index cards online. (Surnames beginning with A and B are available now.)
Looks like a great site for exploring your family history....or if you're just curious what ol' Willie Shakespeare left to whom in his will. (He gave his 'second-best bed' to his wife, everything else to be divided equally amongst his family.)
Interesting.
