Glen They may have been planning this for a while, but their timing is way off. Ancestry beta has been free for a while now. I think they are trying to con newbies who dont know any better when they sign up to GR. Margaret

Have you got the 'available credits' in the list on the left. It keeps appearing and disappearing for me. GR are up to something!

Is Ancestry Beta still free? I've just tried to get in and couldn't but didn't worry until I read this.

Have you noticed that if you click on 'Search Records' on the left of this page, it takes you to a page where you can sign up to the 1901 census and BMD indexes. GR have the cheek to charge for indexes that are FREE to all on http://www.ancestry*co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx I have emailed them to complain. I think it will confuse newbies who will not know about the beta index on Ancestry. Can you all please contact GR to complain about them charging for something that is available for free. I know 1837 online charges, but they were there before Ancestry was FREE. Margaret
