    managed one search and the site fell over....i agree not a very good advert for the site certainly wouldnt pay for it if its as unreliable as this.

    to be fair i've not had problems with it before, am subscribed just for 1911. So if there is a free trial give it a go when its recovered lol, i like being able to search census by address a bit easier than you can on ancestry but it is driving me crackers at the moment

    Glad its not just me then.........typed in all my details to register and thats as far as I got before it seemed to get stuck. Few people I know on history sites have had the same problem.
    I would be unstoppable if only I could get started !
