Found a couple of possibly useful Welsh Parish Records ..... then accidentally lost 10 credits by clicking on the next page.

I am used to Scotland's People who ask if you wish to use a number of credits to view a particular record.

So, I wasn't too thrilled about that - I had even considered perhaps buying some credits as some of the PRs looked interesting, but I don't think I will now.  :(

I also don't like the fact that there is no way to add parent's names when searching for baptisms (as you can do in SP).

Thanks to all of you who volunteered the information about various free credits options. I managed to acquire them all eventually.

I am gradually finding my way around the new site.  ::)
