Genesreunited has a subscription fee for site only
You have to buy credits on Genes site to view 50 credits cost £5.00 GBP and are valid 7 days from purchase
And believe me they do take them away if you do not use them in seven days
Makes it very difficult as you probably do not need to do 50 searches in seven days so you have to make sure you put them to good use and make sure you are going to be able to work on your tree that seven days!!!!!
I have been caught out like this I buy a £5.00 voucher and do a bit of the tree and a few look ups and think I will do some more at weekend but something comes up and then when I do sit down they have taken all my credits away!! "Great start to the Tree session "
I lost 30 credits like this once and had to buy another voucher so that was another £5.00 Plus the £3.00 I lost put me in a lovely mood I recall............

Crougar & Philip
I don't think any of us on this board buy credits from GR. I use Ancestry which offer a 14 day free trial & then you can chose to keep the facility for £9.95 per month or an annual subscription (can't remember how much)
This is also a thread on Tips that says that at the moment you can get a 3 day free Ancestry Worldwide trial but I've not taken mine yet

PRINTING FAMILY TREE
When you open your tree you then select full tree. When it opens you will see a print option on screen. Click on that and then you get a print selection panel which allows you to scale your tree. Change the scale (depending on size of tree) to a size you can still read. Then run mouse over the selection panel and click on pages you want to print.(or you can simply click "select all") When that is done you select print. When it is printed off you will find that pages sometimes join in the middle of a name box so you will have to do a little trimming.

lets face it we like the challenge of a search but some people do take the p***
I think we should guide them to the sites where they can do their own research rather than giving it to them on a plate
what say you??

BVRI Index
BVRI is a set of 16 discs that you can purchase from the LDS Church via the Familysearch site. They contain christenings and marriages from various parishes in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales. They usually cover those not on the IGI but there is a little overlap. They contain 10.4 million christenings and 1.9 million marriages, dated 1530-1906.

Glenys,
I agree that we shoudl try to help people help themselves.
I've tried guiding people to a site where they can search for themselves ............. usually a free site like freebmd or the LDS site.
But invariably someone else comes along within the next short while, and hands it over on a plate!!

IGI Index
International Genealogical Index
found on:
http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp
It is a database of mostly baptisms, births and marriage records put together by the Latter Day Saints church. It covers parishes all over the country, and also that some places are very well covered by the Index whilst other places do not appear.

An English death certificate will tell you:-
Name of dead person (as known to informant)
Age of dead person (as known to informant)
Date of death
Cause of death
Marital status of dead person (as known to informant)
Place where death occurred
Who certified death
Informant's name, occupation and whether present at death
If there was a coroner's inquest, and the result of that inquest
Registrar's signature.
Name, age, marital status ... all depend on what information the dead person told people while they were still alive!!

STILLBIRTHS
Obtaining Stillbirth Certificates
Due to the sensitive nature of stillbirth registrations, the procedure for ordering a certificate of the entry differs from other types of certificates. We will only send out the application form after we have been contacted by phone or in writing by the mother or father (if he is named on the certificate). In cases where the parents are deceased, a brother or sister can apply if they can provide their parents’ dates of death.
The cost of the certificate is about £7.
Phone +44 (0)845 603 7788
Opening hours: Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm
Or write to us at:
General Register Office
PO Box 2
