I'm on there (as free member) have approximately 100 names there for over 2 years.

I also come from a family of lazy sods. lol

Catherine - you put all your relatives that you're found on the 1881 census on the site and they supposedly find and match with other people who have people from that household.

T.O.R. ;o))

I've been joined (free) for ages and not had a thing,I must come from the same family of lazy sods. It sounded good in principle, and it would be if more people joined. Have they got 1841 census now, not looked for ages.

Yes, I am on Lostcousins.com too but no matches yet. I wish they let you enter people from other census as well as I have a few that were too young/old for the 1881.

i am on there (free) and had about 3/4 matches, only one was someone i hadnt already been intouch with before!
i have my childrens fathers side of the family on there with no results (different e mail addy).
check it about once a momth roughly.
i would put on people from the 1841 census, but i havent got the proper reference numbers for the all.
perhaps one day i will get round to it, when i have done everything else i have to get round to. lol
