I think its a waste of time and money . There are loads of mistakes on the " Life Story " apparently a lot of my family died in the United States or were married there . Some of the information I have changed but there is some u cannot change because there in no edit . I have informed them but they have taken no notice . I can no longer access the 1881 census to look at and I cannot see any of the free BMD on the screen has it asks me to pay . I used to think Ancestry were the best with how they set it all out but they have gone down in my estimation.
It's easy to stand with the crowd . It takes courage to stand alone
