Have they still not sorted that site!!! It is so good when it works. Send them an email having a moan, they may give you some free units like they did me.

Thanks everyone. Have already complained with no reply, will contact them again and really have a moan. I prefer searching 1866-1920 on Family Relatives, saves a lot of trawling.

Yes, Ive said many times the 1866-1920 is absolutely brilliant and easy to check on there and much cheaper than 1837online. They are about to launch 1837-1865 I believe and it would be a real boon to everyone like me who hates trawling 1837online. BUT they have to get the site probs sorted. Yes, do write to them saying what a great facility it would be but unfortunately many people cant use it because of the problems with their site.

I have forwarded another email, just wish they would sort out their problems, here's hoping. Thanks for your comments. Dorothy

I haven't tried it lately, but did have a huge amount of problems when it first started, mainly with the site timing out as soon as I started to search. I did e-mail them but the reply was so technical that I couldn't follow it!! In the end I had to re-register. It is about time that they got the site sorted out because it is so good when it works. 1837-1865 would be brilliant.

I managed to get my free extra credits yesterday! There is a notice actually on the home page of 1837 saying they are doing essential maintainance on the site, so maybe that's causing most of the problems. I have had more trouble with family relatives site than 1837, I guess it just depends what day you go! Is it me.......or has the text on the GR reply messages suddenly got bigger? Ann

You are not imagining the text is bigger. Dorothy
