MM,

I think the Free Index searching has got to be a HUGE +

It will outweigh the cost of any certs. bought, following on from there.

My search for "McCluskey" with "Phonetic" option for Deaths in Cambusnethan, Lanark (alone) brought up 21 pages.

On the choices it gives you "Phonetic" but on the actual return it gives "Soundex" which is not now the option.

I dislike when the use of words are not consistent.

Wills section seems a bit of a mess. i did a search of my previous searches by surname and up came a list, Clicked on the view and it told me that there was nothing there  ::)

Went to Wills and located a will that I had purchased and even looked at a few weeks ago and it said 'no image'. It was very long as brothers had challenged it but where has it gone.

Luckily I do have a copy in my archive folder but ....

Not a happy bunny  :(

Now I've got an Out of Service message

just as I was going to complain  ::)

Think it might be best to let it settle down and go back in a month's time

Well that was easier than expected, just logged in with old user name and password, was asked to choose a new password and that was it.
