I’ve been given 50 credits but the records held seem quite scarce , what would you use the credits for? I was hoping newspaper archives covered all of Britain , same as the British newspaper archive does.

	GR's records are VERY limited.......as part of FMP, they get only what's shared with them, as far as I know But, everyone's requirements are different, therefore searching would be entirely based on those.

	I would use the credits for newspaper articles, where possible, though GR only has British Newspaper Archive records up to 1949. I wouldn't bother trying to find any BMD or census record on GR. GR only has BMDs for England and Wales, in any case.
	Researching: Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.
