I've made a couple of contacts via Ancestry but, in general, I find it very
cumbersome to use.

I subscribed to Ancestry.co.uk with a 2 week trial to start.? To be
honest,
I don't think I will continue after the trial.? OK, they have most if not
all
the census returns but apart from that not much in parish? registers.
I know Wales is not such as accessible as England, but my other half
even moaned saying there wasn't that much for England either.? I find
it slow most times.? Would be interested to know what thegenealogist is
like
if anyone has tried.? Looking back, I seem to have more for my money from
paying archives for half an hour or an hour's work.

Here's an additional question related to Glyn's query, pasted below,
about thegenealogist.co.uk.
Does anyone know if that site, or an affiliated one, is accessible to
folks in the States?
Thanks!
