Nancy & Judy I too agree with both of you. This 5 Euros till March 31 has helped and also I have quite a bit of info ( dates etc ). I found my Great grand parents family in Ireland. They had 5 children that lived and 3 to 5 that died before they immigrated. I found the ones that immigrated because I had dates but the ones that died, it was really a challenge. I found 3 babies that died and there could be more but I don't want to spend $150.00 to do it. Right now I have spent 120 Euros and had 6 mistakes. I know that isn't too bad, but on the 31st of March I'm done. 10 Euros is too much. They need to improve their indexing to make it easier to use the info we have to find the people we are looking for. Just a name and date when all the names are the same, just isn't good enough. I agree research can cost, but not all of us have huge amounts of money to spend.
