Genealogy Chat

You only pay once to look at a transcipt or orginal, the transcripts are kept in my records and the orginals they are prompting you to save them to your computer then open them. So you can revisit them as many times as you like for no additional cost.

It does seem a bit steep but considering you pay £3 a time to get certs you think might be your relatives checked then an extra £7 if they find the right one, the charges to view are really not too bad, espically if you have a common surname and have found it diffcult to pin down which 'john smith' or in my case 'john green' born x date maybe your relative, with his fathers name the census considerably narrowed down my options.

The thing is this is new information so it will be pricey till the intial costs of processing it all have been recouped.

I agree with you.

I have no doubt that the site will eventually decide 'the time is right' ....As in the initial demand has dropped off...And will include the 1911 in a subscription service, so reducing the cost considerably.

Around the same time I expect Ancestry will get the 1911 online.

As someone who had to pay 'extra' to get the 1841 online from British Origins before it was available on Ancestry I am very used to paying 'extra' for an early view :(
