Preview:For some years I have been involved in inputting entries into the Sussex People Index; readers may be interested to know my experiences of this wonderful database. My interest in family history started when I studied Family & Community History leading to an Open University Degree. Answering a call from the SFHG for volunteers seemed a natural progression and a way of filling retirement. Little did I know what I was letting myself in for! Since July 2001 I have completed ten and a half boxes comprising about 14,000 slips and I think it was at some point during the second box that I started jotting down a few notes on difficulties, strange names, and things that amused or saddened me.
