I began to gather that as I read subsequent posts about it, but I entered "John Kelly" in the search window and got only a message asking for money. I am *sure* there was at least one John Kelly in Roscommon, but I got no results. It was that that surprised me. Lynne

oooh--that is not nice at all. I agree with the other posters that they are asking a lot of money with not a lot of information up front. What happened when I searched, was that I got a list of two or three records that I could view for money. Perhaps in your case, there were so many that they wanted money first--I wouldn't do it kathleen
