I've been one of the lucky ones who never had any problems with it from the start. As Heather and Steve have said I much prefer it to 1837 as the search system gives you so much more for your money. Once the earlier section has been trasncribed it will be even better Lou

i go with that. if they had the 1837-65 sorted i would use nothing else. so they're onto a winner here.

Mine is working perfectly now but it did take about 20 email complaints to them. In all fairness they did give me a large number of credits for my inconvenience. If it had the 1837-66 transcribed I would use nothing else for look ups because you can do a whole blanket search of a name and just pay for the ones you want to view. So much easier than 1837. I actually printed out 9 pages of b,m,d of one surname with refs all for 18 credits - how much would that lot have cost on 1837? Well, I couldnt have done it on 1837 cos they require a year and quarter. On familyrellies I just entered the surname and all years from 1866-1920 for London.

I have given up on it. Pity because it was quite useful. I couldn't understand their replies to my queries about the site timing out. I don't think that I am particularly thick (although I could be suffering from delusions there!) but it would have taken a software engineer to sort it all out. If the site is going to cause me so much agro then I can't be bothered with it.

Not sure whether to buy any credits or not.
