Yeah, along with bleats that certain counties aren't available by people who don't understand about beta sites.

After going to the site uninvited and registering, I have now received an invitation to continue doing so, along with news of the extended access. Lets be realistic here - they have worked out a way to make money out of the census before the exclusion period expires and they are very happily doing so! Anyone who really believes they are offering it to a select few invitees is not taking into account the fact that genealogy companies such as this make a LOT of money out of us, it is a major business.

For those researching any "Mc" names....there seems to be an indexing issue in that the Mc is not always indexed. I have already had a lot of my McLoughlin family indexed without the Mc....so if you cannot find a Mc then drop the Mc from the surname and search again. In all cases i have found in different counties, the original householder's schedule was filled in correctly but indexed incorrectly with the Mc part or even "M" added to the forename field. Guess there are not many Mc names in the Far East..... regards Anton McLoughlin > > E-mail message checked by Internet Security (6.0.0.386) Database version: 5.11410 http://www.pctools.com/uk/internet-security/
