At first glance it looks like a mainly American site ...

So, I suppose it depends on how many American families you are tracing?

Avoid it. I just looked for myself in the UK prison database and apparently I'm there. Well, having a unique name, I can only assume I slept through my time in gaol!

Hi Janet,
I've tried that too, as I had an unusual maiden name - I don't deny one or two may have criminal records, but every single member of my family??
Even put in my daughter's (arabic) name with my maiden name, and my grandson's latin name - both are there - and grandson is only 2!!
Mickey Mouse has a criminal record too!!

Researching:
Henry Floyd (g x 4 grandad) Allegedly the heaviest man in England in 1842
