Can anyone tell me if this is a good site to go on. It seems very cheap, 300 credits for £6. Thought I might try it but didn't want to waste my money as am on pension. May |

This site looks excellent - It's Soc. of Genealogists - but the 300 credits for £6 have to be used within 7 days. I'll sign up when I'm having a week off! Janet |

Time limits always put me off, they make me nervous. I always find out something new that I never quite get time to investigate fully. |

I joined the site earlier today, but when I did a more in depth search (which I dont think I could do before I paid my money) no matches came up. It turns out my area is over 22% covered! Oh well, I s'pose it was only £6 at the end of the day. I'll maybe go back at a later point in time when I'm futher back than the early 1800s. Also, I still have my 300 credits which I'm happy to use for other people if they need it. If you do want a lookup please give me all the details you have as you get charged for a lookup for every name that appears on a page, ie if there are 100 names in the marriage index that match your criteria and you want to look at them for your particular one you get charged 100 credits!

Hi Rachel, I have sent you an email, asking if you could do a look up for me on english origins, but just in case you don't get it, could you possibly look for the following for me? I am looking for the marriage of Thomas Tong/Tonge/Tongue to Christiana ????, possibly in the Manchester area and possibly around about 1830 or just before. Thanks and best wishes. Carol. |

I subscribed and paid my £6 but on the first few days of looking, I found nothing... then the week was up. I then found out a new surname to research but of course my credit had expired. I wouldn't subscribe again as the coverage is limited and the time limit is ridiculous. Keep your money for someting else. Sian |

Read the messages went to the site entered 4 surnames from my family tree in the free search obtained no results for any. Looking at the list it appears to be mainly for the London Area Bren |
