Having received the offer to upgrade my subscription, before rushing into it I thought it might be worth while viewing recent posts on their blog and am a bit perturbed at what I’ve found. Perhaps naively I had expected that the search and link facilities would have been the same as on the 1911 site but apparently this is not the case. By all accounts unlike the 1911 site there is no advance search or provision to access the images of the enumerator’s documents. The latter proved invaluable to me previously as I was able to identify a family member as a lodger but on a separate schedule. It is also noticeable that although a spokesperson has stated that their fair usage limit will be set higher in view of the new combined subscription there is still no indication as to what it will be. I suspect that all this will not deter me from taking out the new subscription but it is worth bearing in mind and I think it a pity that it was not made clear at the outset. Is it another case of Buyer Beware - what do other RootsChat members think?
