Nivard: I use as much free as possible. Just do not expect all to be free and there are so many generous and gracious people also researching that are so helpful. These are the ones on front lines for all os us. I live in USA and am so limited with Irish, Scotland and England research. Have some family in New Zealand, however, they have not been too interested. Suppose after 106yrs they wonder why I am searching for them. Joseph Holland b 1839 died 1900 at age 60 yrs.in Brelfast with Alzheimer's and heart problems just thought they all needed to know where the disease of Alzheimer's came from as it is hereditary. I married the oldest son John S Holland, Jr. of John S Holland who was the s/o Fred Holland who came to.USA 1904. My husband died 1999, age 68, from Alzheimer's with complications of cancer and his father also had Alzheimer's and died with heart attack 1971 at age 61. None of the Holland family had ever lived to be 68yrs of age. They all died before age 62 from other causes. Fred Holland had a brother Joseph Anderson Holland who had a dau Hannah Patricia Holland who married John Gordon Lewis. They have a g son who now has Alzheimer's and had I not met his niece, Fiona Lewis , on line and told her about Jack they would have wondered what it was and where it came from. There is 2 types of Alzheimer's-Juvenile which strikes around age 40 to 65 and Adult that strikes after 65. The Holland family had Juvenile Alzheimer's You did not ask for this just giving why I got interested in genealogy in Ireland, Scotland and England.
