I don't see how they can forbid look-ups as such - that would logically mean you were infringing terms just by passing any information from the site on even to a close family member. Surely what they forbid is charging a fee to do look-ups. If I have a spare moment, which doesn't happen all that often but did happen this morning, I am perfectly happy to do a favour to someone by passing on (free) a snippet of information which I happen to have easy access to anyway - I have paid the same subscription whether I do the extra look-up or not. And I am sure there are many people who feel the same way. I don't have time to do the detailed extras that Roy has so kindly given, but that is his choice, and I am sure that the questioner must appreciate his valuable help. I may be under a misapprehension, but I did think that genealogy lists were about co-operation...

Emily I agree as you say its just a bit of time as I have an annual sub to Ancestry. The 1911 census is on Find My Past at a price. if all the entries are as bad as the person I wanted then they ought to be paying us. ! The person I wanted was EDMUND SMERDON JORDAN. It came out as JORDAN.
