Family history online

Pete mentioned it in my thread on the 'Frances'' and I've just spent ages on there (spending money of course) but finding SO MUCH out!

Thanks again Pete

See, it put me off to start with, but because I can't get to the record office for ages, I decided to go for it. I've spent £20 this evening, but have found more than I have in the last couple of months! Just be sensible what you look at, and I'm stil to find out if they charge again for going back into something you've already paid for (which will annoy me!)

If you go to searches and click on recent searches you can see what you have viewed (paid for) in the last 30 days again for free.

Personaly, I copy and paste my 'paid for' results into a word document :)
