FREE SEARCHING AT 192.COM UNTIL MARCH 5TH A very useful site for those trying to trace living relatives is 192.com (http://www.192(.)com) which allows you to search the UK Electoral Roll, but it's quite expensive if you have only one or two names to look for. This week ONLY they are allowing free searching - and it's an opportunity too good to miss. If you have any rare surnames in your family tree we'd recommend that you search for everyone with that name and print out the results for future reference. I received this from another site - but well worth doing. Regards Barbara |

Ann, I'm really not sure about that - maybe there are some other experts out there that would know more about it than I do. Sorry, Barbara |

On the down side, I reckon it's why I'm getting so much junk mail these days... all my particulars are for all to see hahaha... The plus side is worth it though!..... Anniex |

Useful, but neither myself nor my family show up on the electoral roll or directory enquiries. So we don't exist. |

Think they might just have 'upgraded' it - I was using it quite happily until a few mins ago - made the mistake of logging out, and now can't get back to the completely free page - only to the 'new, improved' cost you money page!!! RATS!!!! |

I agree the look of the page has changed from last evening but I'm still able to do free searches on it. Barbara PS I didn't log in - just put what I wanted to look for. |
