Gosh you are sceptical. I guess you've not heard of this site before. It's not exactly new and yes it is a pay site, just like the 1901 census site is. The original posters question actually points out a major problem with using the index data provided by this site!- eg how do you narrow down all the hits you get on common surnames. Colin

It is not a "new genealogy site" and I very much doubt if Terry has anything to do with it, other than paying to use it! Anne South Australia -- The privacy.net address is a spam trap.
