I'd chose Ancestry everytime!

Really simple to use and new records are added all the time.

Happy hunting!

ancestry deffo, for the original images evry time. for tree printouts Tribal pages free to build tree £5 to make cantact.

But If you go to sign up for £75 they say if you refuse their first offer they will offer a cheaper price!

Find My Past. The search engine is far superior, Ancestry brings up a load of irrelevant stuff. Plus, by the end of the year, they''ll also have the 1851 and 1901 census records.

Oh, and Ancestry insist on a continuous charge on your credit card and they don't take Maestro, both of which rules them out for me...
