I am going to have to shoot off to bed soon as I have a somewhat boring few days ahead of me coupled with an 0715 flight. At least I have the comfort of having my laptop with me, connection permitting. Regards to all who have provided advice and encouragement this evening.

Thanks Rhymney ( what a lovely name if I might say so). What I intend to do is get it started for them - with perhaps a couple of framed certificates - that sort of thing.

You could register using their details the night before their Anniversary. Make sure you send them an email on the morning wishing them happys and tell them of your surprise by that time ancestry would have sent the password etc and they could begin their searching when they are ready. hope this helps dorothy

The problem is that I want it to be a surprise so I can't ask too many questions or they might suspect so I am going to need lots of help from you lovely lot !

What a smashing gift and something quite different - well golden... Yep recommend Ancestry. but you can access birth deaths and marriages on FreeBMD for free but not complete yet but its what Ancestry use anyway. 1881 census via Family Search.org is free Dorothy

I'm just looking at the options. My parents are quite into it and I thought that getting them started would make a nice gift - they are coming up to their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Ray Ancestry definately. There is a web site that gives a discount, worked out £58 for the year, it's Lost Cousin's or something like that. Someone on here will know. Kim

Ray i have Ancestry uk,use it all the time

Is it worth subscribing to the Ancestry web site ? The way I see it I get to look up unlimited births,marriages and deaths for the subscription but If I use the 1837 on line I have to pay to view - Have I got that right? I really want to get into this but am looking at the most cost effective way of doing it
