I suppose a lot of you have had the same email that I've had, offering a discounted subscription. What do you think, chaps ? I don't know anything about them at all

I've had a sub with them for over a year now ...... I have saved ££££££££££££££££ with their PCC wills alone as well as the non-conformist BMDS, I have had absolutely no problems with using the site, either from any supposed imposed limit or researching so many different surnames - all my own.
If a site thinks you are doing lookups for other people, and may be a professional researcher or providing a lookup service, then I think they are quite within their rights to pick you up on it and check with you. They paid for the rights to house the stuff and need to recoup their money after all.

I had some free credits for The Genealogist a while back & used them to search for a couple of specific entries in a Parish not available elsewhere online. I seem to recall finding the search facility cumbersome & not easy to follow, & needless to say, I didn't find what I was looking for but I wasn't encouraged to subscribe. Does anyone else find The Genealogist site difficult to search or is it just me?

Well, it's not the best interface I've ever used, but not the worst, either. But the access to non-con records & wills has been fantastic. BTW, most of the non-con records I've encountered on The Genealogist are also indexed on familysearch.
Sarah, like most sites, it's worth it if they have what you need! And, for me, they did
