I recommend you join the free tier first where you will be able to see what resources are available for look ups etc  from tier 2


Thanks -  I already did that but there's very little to see in the free part.  All the queries refer back to the parts I can't see and otherwise all I see is lots of chat.  As suggested here I probably won't bther and will stick to Rootschat and Talking Scot, at least for now until I run into a brick wall :)

Thanks very much to the kind lady who shared her experiences of the site by PM.  I'll try to reply now that I have enough posts, but if I don't manage, hope you see this, and my thanks.

Hi Falkryn

I suppose that's exactly what I was thinking - at the moment I'm getting all the help I need from browsing the free sites, so do I really need to pay?   I was just curious about what they had to offer as there are only 3 sites listed on Scotlanspeople so that made me think i should maybe join.  Their free area is mostly chat so doesn't give me any feel for the content of the main site.  However, I can see they have a mining section which would really interest me and that's not specifically covered by the other forums I've seen.

Thanks Dave/Hibee, I have already been picking up many tips on freebies :)

Hi Rootschat
I've just started out and found this forum from the scotlandspeople site.  I've been lurking around here for a few weeks before joining and the posts have been very helpful.

I also saw the link to the Scotfamtree website and wondered if anyone had any experience of this?  It's £10 to join but I can't see what I get until I buy, and I'm already finding my credit card beginning to melt with all the spending on scotlandspeople.  So far reading this site and TalkingScot have helped me loads for free so I'm not sure if I should pay to join that site?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Katie
