Hi Everyone, The Scottish Sunday Mail is giving away to their readers 20 free credits for the ScotlandsPeople site. These are worth £4 or roughly $9.00 CDN, about $8 USD, roughly $10 NZD, etc. In other words, a great bargain wherever you live in the world because they are FREE. Just click on the link and follow the instructions. http://www.sundaymail.co.uk/news/feed/tm_method=full%26objectid=18906803%26siteid=64736-name_page.html When I got to the voucher page, I simply typed - are you ready for this? - sundaymail. The nice thing about this offer is simply that it is open to everyone. If you don't have an account with ScotlandsPeople you just have to fill out the usual form but it won't cost you anything. This offer is also a great deal for people who already have a membership. While I had several credits remaining, the additional 20 considerably increased the date of expiry. Please give it a try. What can you lose? They are FREE! Happy Hunting, Joan

Thanks Joan, not often they give anything away for free, Amanda. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan Gerhard" <gerhard@ican.net> To: <border@rootsweb.com>; <sct-selkirk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 8:23 PM Subject: [BORDER] ScotlandsPeople Free Credits Hi Everyone, The Scottish Sunday Mail is giving away to their readers 20 free credits for the ScotlandsPeople site.
