Hi everyone, I don't know if you have heard of this site. Several months ago I read about it on some Yorkshire lists. It's a site that you enter details of your ancestors or blood relatives ( siblings, cousins etc of your ancestors), as they appear on the 1881 census (there is a place to put additional info like maiden name or the name on the census shows as Eliza and its really Alision, or the real age of the person). If it finds a match with someone who has put in exactly the same person as you, you can then contact each other. The guy on the YKS list asked if anyone wanted a referral to join this site, I waited a few weeks as he got swamped with replies, he never got back to me. I never followed it up but just read two articles on it in some family history mags, so have joined. The site covers the 1881 census for Scotland, Wales and England, and plans to add other census during next year. ItÂ’s free to join. Sometime next year they may add a "full" membership fee, that will give additional benefits to those who pay compared to the free loaders. I have just found out if you enter at 50 direct ancestors and blood relatives before the 9th of January you get free full membership for 2005, its not hard, I've got 21 direct ancestors and 31 blood relatives so far, & I've got many more to go. The sites address is WWW.lostcousins.com or if you wish me to provide you with a referral code, please email me. cheers John Dods New Zealand ===== Proud to be a transcriber for the freeCEN Project,UK and the 1901 Candian Census and volunteer for Random Acts of Geneological Kindness.
