Hi Yvonne, I'm researching the English side of my family but I live in Dubai so have had to rely on the internet. I have made good progress. To search for free: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ - you have to be quite specific with your search but can get good results. Subscription: http://www.ancestry.co.uk - I subscribe to this site and find it very useful for the census information and have found information from other users (the forum is extremely helpful. http://www.findmypast.com - I have bought some credits and use this site if searching for census information by address - plus it has the 1911 census Finally if you want to order original documents once you have found your relative to double-check the search information you need to order them from the General Records office. They charge £7.00 each including postage. http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/ If you find out the exact information from the sites above (registration district, volume and page) it's very easy and efficient. Hope this helps Sally P.S. One member of my family was born in France and the local records office in Roubaix were amazingly helpful!
