The last time I used them, though a year or two back, the indexing for both censuses and BMD was poor and I could not find people that were (later) found quickly on FindMyPast. My other objection to Ancestry is that they demand the right to put a direct debit on your credit card. You cannot cancel these like a direct debit on a bank account where you can tell the bank to stop paying; you have to tell Ancestry and then they _should_ stop their debiting, but it is not immediate like telling your bank. -- Tim Powys-Lybbe                                          tim@powys.org              For a miscellany of bygones: http://powys.org/
