Teresa you can buy CD roms called info light which are names and addresses taken from the electoral roll for all UK prior to 2001. (cheapish) or (hold breath) about £250 for professional version. dial 08000 192 192. Easy to use and you can get hundreds of names at every search. Full names and addresses but no phone numbers. Sandra. I got info lite when I bought Family Tree package and have found some cousins already.

Demelza It is extremel easy to use and I am amazed at what you are able to do with it. There are different ways to enter info and I didn't know I was doing it right, but I was. I have tried different packages but a bit complicated. This one is very easy and UK biased, but you can still search everywhere.

Demelza forgot to add you get 6 CD Roms. and two Manuals. (Not huge and complicated). It is better to look at them though as you will soon find the programme straightforward to use. The CDs are Family Tree versioon 4, Clipart, Internet Resource CD, Photo Album, plus 2 UK Info lite. It is made by GSP. Costs vary depending where got from up to £54.
