Maisie -------------------------------- Hi Maisie & all The £6 odds is actually 1p off £7 and gives 48 hours and buys enough credits for 100 pages or there is a £30, 30 day option (more credits) Or there is a yearly subscription (unlimited but fair usage policy?) But as many of the papers on this new database are also on the Gale 19th Century Newspapers, and they are available for free for all Australian Citizens and many in the UK who may have a subscription with their Library it pays to check there first Also I notice quite a few notices that appear in the Gazette's, also free Many stories are shared around so its also worth checking the Australian and New Zealand online papers, both free Just a thought before spending your hard earned on the new site Also worth noting that there are many duplications of the same story across the Country so worth making sure you are not wasting credits downloading the same story in a different newspaper The OCR is on this new site is pretty dire so there must be many words missed completely in the free searches so just because you don't find something does not mean its not there Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fztYPGMrtkI&feature=youtu.be>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fztYPGMrtkI&feature=youtu.be http://scottishgenealogytipsntricks.blogspot.com/2011/11/british-newspaper-archive-is-live.htmlht www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk Maisie
