Hi all,
I have been collecting wedding photos from everyone in our
family I could as part of my family tree research.
At least with weddings a date can be found, unlike "Auntie's" tin of
good old photos with no names or dates on them :-)

I have made some albums up with 5 generations of wedding photos in
them and 72 photos in each album.
They are small and neat looking with general family information about
each family and were possible a later in life photo too, it shows us
aging!

I have four to post to Australia, (from the UK) I do not have any
special scales but on my kitchen scales the package weighs 2, 1/2
pound or 1.250 KG.

Are there different postal methods I could ask for?
Is all post Air mail now?

I do not begrudge the postal charge but just wondered if there are
options ?
Mick.IOW.

Oh FFS! You've found Usenet. Is it really that fecking difficult to
find the Royal Mail website?

It is *much* easier to post the same question here AND
soc.genealogy.britain.

Is posting to two groups separately the same as cross posting then?

I asked in both groups because I thought there would be different
views on method of sending?

Mick.

I think it is not the same - though some groups reject all cross-posts
so it is not always an option.

Cross-posting (limited, of course) allows all viewers to see each
others' responses and hence avoid saying the same thing again, repeating
'research', whatever.
