If you remember on Origins those really irritating indexes that never produced the answers you expected? Those were the Sog ones. Virtually a wall full of maroon volumes that to judge from the typeface were done in the 1920s. Because it was indexed on a Soundex type basis, you were likely to find Phillips under F!

They do have lots of minor indexes that Cliff Webb has produced , plus stuff by Crisp and I dare say a few other goodies.

Sorry, I know that there are lots of SOG databases on British Origins (and now on findmypast) but what I meant was, the only apprenticeship one of theirs that I know of is the Livery Companies of London one.

Mutter, mutter....

Although this database originated with TNA, it is not available AT TNA.

I did mention this to a member of staff there... who will be dining with a member of Ancestry's staff tonight... but as neither of them are particularly high up in their organisations, I'm not holding my breath.

You can't even do searches at TNA.
