FreeCen site info Found this on another site - for our info - The FreeCEN On-Line searchable database (free to view) went live on July 4th. Please click on the link below to find out if you have access yet. (http://freecen.rootsweb.com/cgi/search.pl) It depends in what part of the world you are resident as to when access will be available, and also to which Internet Service provider you are with. Example. For those in the UK and are on NTLWorld, then it is live now. For those who are on Freeserve, then you will have to wait about 30 days. For those who are on AOL, then you will have to wait a little longer. About 40 + days. When you click on the link it will either take you straight there or give you a message to say when you will be able to get on the site. This phased link is to ensure that not everyone goes on at once and crashes the system as happened with the PRO for the 1901 census. There are over 1 Million entries so far on the database, and more will be added from each County as and when they have been validated. There are no pieces from London as yet, but at least two pieces from the St Pancras area will be uploaded within the next couple of months. Vera Manchester LAN

I have had access for about a week now but have yet to get a match. Even tried putting in fairly common names and as yet no matches found. Stephen
