If you're trying to search records on here I think you need to buy credits.

Personally, I have never used the records on here as I understand that you are just referred to other sites. I subscribe to Ancestry.

You can search trees etc as a standard member.

Standard membership doesn't cover access to records such as the census.

You may be able to ask for a lookup on the Records board or Ancestry may be available free of charge at your local library.

And don't forget

FreeBMD

FreeREG

FreeCEN

All free. FreeBMD is pretty near complete into at least the 1930s if not later. FreeREG and FreeCEN have patchy coverage but are growing all the time so worth keeping an eye on.

And, as Claire says, ask for help - you're probably better off on one of the other boards. Chat can sometimes move a bit quick and your message will drop off the page very quickly.
