Thanks everybody for your replies. I took the plunge & spent 24.99 for 280 credits that I can also use on Find My Past. Well pleased

At least now there's the wildcard facility and other advanced search facilities unlike when it first became available. There have also been some very good searching tips given by GR members which reduce the risk of expensive mistakes. I agree with the other member who advises not to go mad. I'm certainly pleased with the results I've had.

PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result.

You can serach the index for free, but if you want to see the actual transcription you have to pay, its the only way. Just be careful what you look at and don't go mad!

I've spent some cash on it and found it useful, cleared up several family mysteries.
