	Is anyone a member of this site and would you recommend joining? I was told about the site today and wondered whether it was useful for those who can't visit and can you access records online. Thanks Di I am aware there is a subscription which I don't mind paying if it's said to be worthwhile.

It has a huge library and a large collection of parish records etc. They also have talks etc . Members have free access otherwise you pay for the number of hours you want to spend there. Online is their catalogue and they do lend a restricted number of items to members. So basically it is a place to visit when you are in London - it is not an online site. Jan

	Jan Thank you. The person who suggested it didn't say it was a place to visit so glad I didn't subscribe. Di
