I was wondering if it was worth me buying credits on genes to veiw census records etc. didn't know what else you could see with them, and how many records you could see for these 50 credits. i don't have that many that i want to look at but am not a member of ancestry, so don't know if i would use them all within the 7 days. can anyone tell me what records and how many records i can see for the 50 credits please?

thanks leanne

Leanne certainly dont buy them fron GR they arent held by them anyway you get diverted to another site. You "pay" to view census pages whether you find them on there or not!! and costs anything from 1 unit to 10. you only get a broad could be on this page search anyway and you often waste your units.
There are peeps on here with ancestry who are willing to do searches . just put up your enquiry.

The 1881 is free to search on the family search website anyway

NOT on GR.......they are the least cost-effective way of searching records.
