Thank you Sue - I'll give it some thought. I have a little time before I have to decide Marged I think Ancestry is heaps better than GR. For a start, as a paid up member, you can search and look at other members public trees and read notes, see photos etc. My tree is not 'public' but the basic info can be seen and members can contact me to see if there is a connection and I can give them access if I want. I also think Ancestry has more searchable records than GR. Sue > No virus found in this outgoing message.
