Bear in mind that coverage is patchy date-wise. Your entire family may be on it from 1600 to 1800, but if you don't know anything about your ancesters before 1837 then it will be of no use to you!

Thanks for the details Mary. Kathryn, I do have quite a bit pre 1837 but am thinking of the VRI as an 'easy' way to find out more without travelling. Regards Janet
