Hi Colin, Perhaps the message could be slightly re worded as it is probably not accurate to describe FHSs as commercial organisations, most of them having an educational charity status and run like Genuki. entirely by volunteers. To categorise them with booksellers and CD Rom sellers is misleading to people who are just starting with family history as a pastime.
