Can anyone tell me why when I search for someone with the new birth records search it won't let me view the records, it just takes me to the page telling me to upgrade to platinum membership, have they knocked out all the records for those of us who have gold membership or is it just my machine playing up?

Most of us don't use GR for searching..........freebmd, Ancestry and findmypast are so much better.

What years are you looking for?

Hi, I have the same and on the same membership package as you so I guess points to a system issue?

Thanks,

I have gold membership and am also getting this problem, I need to look up various births and this is a really annoying. Jayne

Just supports the general view on here that it's better to subscribe elsewhere for records and just keep basic membership on here for advice & support.

Just to test it out I put my Grand parents in, and guess what, no match was found, unbelievable.

Perhaps thats what they mean by changes, you can't find any body.
