[snip] My Manchester (UK) public library has a subscription and I have made a lot of use of it. I found some of my wife's family in the Church Mission Society's Children's Home in Islington. Their father was a missionary in Bengal. Not bad for free. I have always had suspicions about 'free' trial offers that require you to sign up for a full subscription and then cancel. By that time they have your bank details etc. Hardly secure. At least the UK has the legal protection that John used. -- Dave Barnett Keep GMT all year

I was seriously contemplating taking out a subscription to Ancestry.com. I have been with Genesreunited for some time now and have been very successful with the site. I think I'll stick to Genes. Thanks for the advice.
