Welcome to the wonderful world of searching for your ancestors.  This site has been created to assist you in your search for your English, Scottish, Australian and New Zealand ancestors.  I have spent many years searching via the internet trying to find some VERY elusive family members and it has only been by very extensive web browsing that I have been able to locate them.  Some of the sites are "pay to view " but let me assure you that these sites are worth every penny you may spend on them. It costs on average about 6 English Pounds for between 30 and 50 hits (pages of downloads) so you can see it is not expensive. These sites have been truly great in finding lost relatives.  Some sites are free and are very good, but the ones I mention where you pay, are actual government sites and you can order birth, death and marriage certificates online from them.

I have used my credit card and can assure you I have had no trouble doing so.  I keep a special credit card account with only a small amount of money in it just in case I get "Hacked".  Anyway, I hope these links are as useful to you as they have been to me.
