The O'Hara - Bagshaw Family Tree
( Our ancestors did What ?!? )
Documents in PDF and Text formats
Over the years we have amassed a large number of documents relating to many of our ancestors that are in text format, either as a word processor format such as Word or Open Office or in PDF format. The problem has always been how to display them in an easy reading format that looks presentable on a website. I have still not found an option that I am totally omfortable with and each version of the site tries out a different format. Hopefully you can find the files you need and read them easily or/and download them to your own device.
