I didnt realise when I bought them Ancestry was going to have such a fantastic update, wish I had waited.

its funny you say that have been looking for a death for my uncle its not there, nor is my birth which is strange , maybe you are right I might still need 1837 after all thanks for your reply.

Val, someone said you get a two week period to cancel a sub to 1837.

You have got to feel sorry for 1837Online though havent you? At least Family Relatives has a better index and would be worth a few credits, I wonder how long 1837 will last now that this Ancestry Update is avaialble? P

1837 have offered a 2wk cooling off period for the £50 offer. With a minimum charge of £5, so you may as well use 50 credits. Sam

1837 have aqquired the National Archivist databases. Probably to widen their appeal because of Ancestry putting on the BMD's.

Yes, but that £50 offer doesn't apply to the National Archivist databases, does it? Kate.
