	I never use Genes records as they are really expensive. FreeBMD is free Familysearch is free Ancestry you need to pay for - I buy a yearly subscription and find it excellent value for money. Always ask on here - Records Office is good - if you're looking for a specific person or two in census returns to get you started but Ancestry is worth it in the long run! Happy hunting Jill
