Season’s greetings to everyone who’s let us loose on their
family tree this year – we’ve had a great time researching some really interesting
characters (and unearthing a few things perhaps best left undiscovered!), and
look forward to meeting more of you in 2014.
Here’s how you would have spent your Christmas had you booked
into the Crichton Hotel in Blackpool in 1937; and an example of a hand-painted card,
sent to Miss Hilda Pickering of Macclesfield in 1921. (Click on image to enlarge.)
