I was subscribed to Otherdays.com for a year and and was pleased with it service at the time. A one point, last year, Origins.com offered a free day and after testing it, I thought Otherdays was a better deal and wrote on some mailing lists that it was a better deal for your buck/euro/pound. However, I take it all back. Both programs offer the Griffiths Valuation with an index. When I was on Otherdays, you could print the GV image, now you can't. While I still have access to Otherdays, yesterday when doing some family research, I got frustrated with the program and decided to check out Origins again. I paid for 900 credits or two weeks for $16+. They basically have the same index but allow you to use wildcards in the search. Like I could put on Conn* and get all the names that start with Conn, including Conners and Connors. I could search Flan?gan and get Flannagan, Flanagan, Flannigan etc. So this certainly is a better index tool. Then I started checking out the images. After some confusion...my Quick Time plugin kept opening the image but I wasn't getting the ability to print (or the tool bar). Origins help section didn't help because when I clicked to see if I had the Tiff plugin, it showed the image, however, when I went to where you can get the tiff plugin free, it stated that if I didn't get the tool bar, I needed to disable Quick Time (they gave good instructions) and download the Tiff plug in. Well, after I did so, it was excellent! I could manipulate the images, print them, save them etc. The images were not as fluid as they are on Otherdays, they were more stable and the ability to save the image is wonderful for my records. So, the object of this post to to take back my good review of Otherdays and my panning of Origins. For the money, I find Origins a better deal. Recently, I found some major defects in the Griffiths Valuation Index. Many parishes don't have the beginning of the alphabet, so if you are depending on the index to give you reliable information, you are mistaken. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton
