Practical Research indexes was set up as a business through which we could offer to other family historians and genealogists products and services which we have “tried and tested” and found to be helpful in broaching brick walls or resources that we have found not to exist in the form that we wanted them and so developed our own.

The business is operated by Sandra Vane (nee Hewetson), Patricia Hewetson, Yvonne Larkins & Tim Vane; all members of one family.

The Magnifying Bookmark will sit in your pocket or handbag until you need it and you will be surprised how often that will be. It cleverly doubles up as a ruler and a bookmark. And each one is sold in a protective plastic wallet.
