Hi Jude, I think the only way IS to send the ansa via PM ... but then none of us would know if the request has been answered etc ... and the poor person doing the requesting would be inundated by PM's. I haven't done any further work for S & N since I was suspended ... and I refuse point blank to purchase anything further from them. I'll wait, bide my time and when Ancestry has ALL the census's online, then I'll pay them instead (even with the mistranscriptions :-( Elaine :-)

Surely if someone asked for a look up, all the you have to do is send the info via email - no one would know then, would they???? jude sarf wales

well i'm not with it either, didn't know there was a restriction about helping others, some very kind people have helped me on here, and who are S & N lol sorry from a confused and obviously thick person lol JoJo xxxx

I'm not with you on this at all..... Does this mean that when I ask someone to look at 1841 census for me, them giving me the info, if it is from an S & N disc is actually illegal? God help us!! In response to Linda, I won't be buying S & N products then, because the temptation to help others may overwhelm me; in view of the help i've received in the past from some very kind people!!! :0( Joan

Hi Elaine Bit unfair that isn't it!! I will continue doing look-ups and no-one can stop me because I don't use the S&N Indexes. So they can whistle!! Linda x

thats awful. There are alot of people on this site who haven't been doing their tree long (including myself) and rely on others, (not just because they have the subscription) as i will always pay for one, but because they have the experiance. I was looking for a certain family member for weeks. I asked on the tips board and got my answer within 10 mins, (the person i was looking for had the surname mispelled), but i would have never known that. and it doesn't matter how many subscriptions i have!!!!

A lot of people who do 'lookups' on census's 1841 & 1851 are doing so from disc's .... and could be using disc's purchased from S & N Genealogy. There are also people able to search Name Indexes for these same census's ... and they may be using the Name Indexes from S & N Gen. The people who this concerns will understand what I am saying.

Well l must be an eejit as well - what do you mean and who is S & N - but then l've always bin an eejit so nothings different!!!! lol Have you been suspended from another site?? jude sarf wales (derr brain)

I don't understand it. WE pay, so WE should be able to do what we want with it. This site is for helping each other isn't it? I don't actually do look ups for others, but that is because I'm hard pressed to do my own. Gets a bit confusing for me ( I'm an eejit see?)lol I have though been helped an awful lot by people on this site. Deanna x

Yet another person has been suspended from S & N Name Indexes because they have been doing lookups on this site. GenesReUnited have been mentioned on the e.mail as the source of information. The person suspended has NOT been offering lookups ... but has still been found out because the person HAS been answering requests on the boards. PLEASE folks ... BECAREFUL. Most of you know that I myself was also caught a few months ago ... which is one of several reasons I no longer 'offer' lookup... but it hits hard when your subscriptions are suspended ... especially when you have paid up front a year in advance. Elaine :-(
