    3. I don't know how many of you may have used this site - <http://www.1837online.com/> www.1837online.com to find genealogy information for England, but I just found out about it today. I don't have enough beginning information to search in the UK to get into it myself, but thought it may be useful for others on the list. It's a pay-per-view site that charges 10 pence per image with a minimum of 5 pounds (per session I suppose). They claim to have the entire 1861 census for England and Wales online. Their free trial is pretty good as you can search their data bases for marriages, deaths, and births within a narrow range of time (I think it was Jul, Aug, Sep 1863 or something). It's good enough to give you a feel for the site and what they have to offer. The use a Lizardtech viewer so it's pretty similar to what you see with Ancestry.com. Here's a note from the web site... Please note that this is a full set of the publicly available records for England and Wales. There are no known omissions. These indexes do not cover other parts of the British Isles - Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands. The BMD indexes for England and Wales contained on this site are divided into two distinct areas: * From 1837 to 1983 all records are scanned pages of the indexes that are found at the Family Record Centre and also held on microfiche or microfilm by some libraries and family history organisations. * From 1984 to date, all the information is in a database format. Cheers, Rick Haverty
