Questions:

I am finding some people in the census and want details. Do we still
have to pay for the test site? Do I simply give my VISA and start
racking up charges against it? Is there a better way?

Don,

There is a bit of a trick to the 1901 - the less information you put
into
the 'search' the better...

So far, touch wood, I have had a great run with my research - everything
is
as it should be & more! They have also matched the actual entries as
well.

Even had success searching Jewish names for a friend - which are
notoriously
difficult to find as the sunames changed with every
birth/death/marriage
and census!

Far be it from me to support the PRO and ors but the Enumerators also
got it
wrong!

Pam
