Well you dont need to join the records website to look up if any of your ancestors had settlement or removal orders - its all there free of charge. There are also bastardy orders with the details. Incredible.

Well, Im not sure what else we will get once we have full membership access but as I said they have contacts on there (they split the email addies and you have to copy and paste to join them together to avoid spam - youll see what I mean if you try to email a member) and the very first one I have mailed has given me stuff back to 1688, all sourced and has just mailed me again to thank me for the little bit I gave him and the scans I sent him of certs and told me not to buy a will as he has it and will send me a transcript. The other great site for Sussex (what makes sussex so good at this?) and in fact the site I was looking for when I stumbled on this one is: http://www.sussexrecordsociety.org/home.asp On that site you can actually see settlement certificates by name on line - I got about 2 dozen details off there.

Hi, I joined yesterday after reading your message!! I wasnt as lucky as you but thought it worth joining anyway - even paying the extra for overseas membership. I am investigating Reeds, Buddens and Adams (so far). Caroline

Yes Chris, I felt the same as they give you so much info free - and gawd knows what you can get as a member.

I have certainly found their website worth a visit. As a matter of conscience, I feel I ought to join for at least one year, anyway! Christine

I have said this before, but this groups website is just what all FHS websites should be. I def going to join it. This is where I found that one name research guy who has given me so much back to 17th century on my Verralls. I have now gone back to the site and blow me someone else is there with info on the Mockfords in my line. If you have Sussex rellies, do have a look - well worth joining for £11 a year, just getting me credit card as we speak. www.sfhg.org.uk
