I got on with no problems and found my remaining lot. Went and had a look at the "living relatives" bit and searched for myself...it was a little disconcerting to see my address pop up  :-\

Lloydy - it did the same to me...but I logged on earlier today to see what the story was, and decided I would go back and look later.  Alas, as i had already logged on, I have just lost out, as they only seem to accept one log in!

Okay...looks like I am going to have to wait until wednesday.   :'(

Wednesday?

In my 90 minutes I was able to find 6 families in the 1911, I lost a lot of time trying in vain to find 2 families.

Overall I'm happy considering it was free. If there is a next time, I'll try to plan ahead.

Ralph - Ireland to Scotland to Queensland, Australia
