I have tried it out with just one name POB and DOB and it found my cousins website so happy to spend more time looking.
I have added to the BBC Family Trees Board too for my friends to look at it.
Found a few folks looking for branches of my Goulson family, largely old Genforum posts but a few are Lincolnshire area and deffo my lot. Just a shame they are enquiries from the late 1990's and will probably not be current users.
Joseph Goulson 1701-1780 My sledging hammer lies declined, my bellows too have lost their wind
My fire's extinct, my forge decay'd, and in the dust my vice is laid
Found a few of mine as well! However if you get into a book I have discovered that when you type the name of interest in the box at the top of the boook all the relevant pages come up. I had been wasting much time by browsing through the book looking for the names!! Oh well, at least I won't be wasting any more time! Found a few of Irish interest by inputting name of person and county in Ireland and even the actual town or townland so might be worth a try for those elusive Irish.
Glen,
You never know your luck. I wrote to one from 2000 and he still had the same e mail! Mind you I gave him info and all he has said was he had been on hoilday and would reply shortly, that was about seven weeks ago! I'm still waiting for a reply!

I had one a while ago who said they were going on holiday but would scan a load of images onto a memory stick for me. I duly paid out for the stick and posted it on, still waiting a year later. I'm down £6 and a memory stick plus dozens and dozens of images.......Off topic rant over.
