Pay to view database: www.familyhistoryonline(.)net "We publish on-line records compiled by Family History Societies - quality data from experienced researchers with local knowledge providing more accurate details at fees that give value for money. Currently we hold some 16.8 million records that you can search. They include indexes (or fuller details of the entries) for baptisms, marriages, burials, monumental inscriptions, and census returns." You can search for your names and it will list their occurrences and the cost (pence) to view. Have only browsed so far, but it looks worthwhile. and www.thegenealogyclub(.)co(.)uk an online magazine. Free registration to view part of the site (which gives quite a lot of information) or a subscription to get to the whole site. Sue |
