Brian,

To do it properly certificates should be bought for all main lines anyway to be sure you're keeping on the right track - the price of certificates is nothing at all to do with the cost of websites such as Ancestry.

sorry some one already warned me about this wdytya ,this is the bbc prog where some celeb travels up and down britain and then to europe then over to the usa then back to uk then back down to turkey or whatever.

this is the real deal sorry.

Sorry Brian but I have to disagree with you yet again. I have a website with well over 10,000 people on it and many yet to put on as I'm doing a one place study. Everything on my website is proven via parish records, certificates, Wills and sundry other records going back to the 1400's which I have spent a lot of time, energy and money tracking down.

To be honest your comment about people not helping was uncalled for - many with years of experience have replied to you with very useful advice, although after six months of researching you seem to know more than they do.

genes is logic that's all and so easy it is now ,
back to audrey who list this thread she just wants to tap into like me and formulate then proove at the lowest cost thats not wrong surely .
gain info proove re relatives by a few certs have something to pass to your loved ones , if there like me they will forge on not beleiving info untill they have prooven for themselves.
if my my grandad wasn't my grandad no computer available now will proove this, and yet apparently you can proove youre genes but thats anouther site. so we work with what we have today.

dear maggie
i did not aim this at you its just that on this site some people are so unwilling to offer advice but happy to critocise and that didn't mean you maggie i'm so happy for the advice you gave me , there are just 1 or 2 people who won't help and just run you down for being only 6 months into it
def not you maggie

ok lets start again
i am a neewbie
i am trying to to learn how to tap into the 1911 census at a mininmum cost.
sorry if i sound cheap to anyone but times are hard for me
hard work i have learned is always the cheapest way,
and i'm not afraid of hard work.
i like audrey want to know when uk 1911 census may come to this site
i have had no answer yet.
1912 is my guess?
i would like to know if anyone has the answer
i would like to thank people who have offered me alternatives to gaining info but the ones i have looked at are very costly.
if i had more money than i would be happy to frow it at the other site just to curb my inpatience.
i have not so i will wait
i did think that 1911 census would appear on this site this year and i am told i am wrong on that one to.
when i finally receive details on my grandad i will add them to my site in the hope that he really was my grandad.
i'm told i can proove my real gene by offering a sample of dna and there is a family member that they can cross with.
i am happy just to assume as thats quite a good assumption.
as if my grandad isn't my grandad i'm well never going to find my real grandad. i relly on assumption because thats all that is on offer. but that's better than nothing.
brian
any help i would love
any one unhappy about me being a newbee i offer my appoligies
any help i have been given thank you.

Sorry Brian but you don't appear to be listening . In answer to when the 1911 Census will come to this site refer to page 1 - NEVER - Genes Reunited do not have any records, they just pass you on to other websites. In answer to how you can view the 1911 Census cheaply, refer to page whatever where I told you it can be viewed free at Kew.

my final note on audreys thread is
if you are new to genes reunited or tree searching or genealogy in general
DONT ADMIT TO BEING NEW , SAY YOU HAVE BEEN AT IT FOR MANY YEARS.
it's funny newbeeees can some times be older than they let on any way.
thats not true in my case though, and you wonder how people know that to be the case.??????????
weird

Hi Brian,
FreeBMD are transcibing all births, marriages & deaths for England & Wales 1837 to 1983. They're currently up to about 1930's. Home page: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
Search page: http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

To obtain certs, go to GRO: http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/
These cost £7 ea. Other sites will charge a lot more for them.

Ancestry....pricey to subscibe to, but contains a lot of records. Currently has all England & Wales births from 1837 to 2005 on its data base.

Regards,
Steve.

that was my last message
sorry maggie it followed you but wasn't aimed at you so here is my note
point taken and looked at by the way.
amok avid
"Members are not obliged to help!." amok's note .
when i joint this site it wasn't for self gratification.
amok iv'e demanded your help and would not.
help is given freely, in the uk it is a personal want to help people and enjoy the fact you are able to help people, i presently am training a gentelman from st lucia to learn my job. I love and enjoy passing this knowledge on this is the british way i beleive. i get huge satisfaction teaching people. like my father and his. its enjoyable. some people at work don't feel the same, they feel that the people they train will take their job. i'm good at my job and don't have the same fear.
how sad my workmates are

sorry
amok
maybe i have not said that i pay 30+ pounds here for six months and i get to see what i want many times at no extra cost you should look into it , it's very cheap

Hi Brian,
We've all found hurdles in searching for relatives. Often the first is finding that anchor in the near past from the available data bases, to work back from.
As a rule once you can get back to 1901, it's a lot easier with info available on line. Quite a lot of this is free.
Also there is a wealth of experienced people on GR, who can help you in your research. Whether its researching for people or offering tips & this is all done on a voluntary basis.

Regards,
Steve

i'm not very good at explaining myself sorry
if YOU pay about 30 something pound every half year you get to look at what you want (minus the obvious 1911 census) what this thread is debating. and you can look at say one census as many times as you like and others at just the one cost per half year by subscribing.

oh that's crafty .....you already new that and you wanted me the newbeee to add that woh
it's true though so well done (here we go then)

(GENES REUNITED IS THE BEST SITE AND DONT GO TO ANY OTHER)

do i get a discount now?????????

Brian,
The 1911 census only came out in Jan 2009. Currently its only available on pay per view.
In future yrs this probably will become available on other membership sites. As did tthe 1901 census.
You seem to be pre-occupied with the 1911 census. Why is this?

Steve.

Sorry Brian,
But your last post was as if we are the ones taking your money.

GR does that.

We like yourself, are members here working on our trees & helping each other.

If you have an issue about membership fees. Then you should take it up with GR & not us.

Regards,
Steve.

Brian

There is one thing you won't have to pay anything for, and that is good manners.

The way I've seen you speak to the people on this thread is a disgrace.

Brian,

As far as I have seen on this site, noting that I have only been a member for six months so am still a newbie according to your defination, most people are willing to help someone starting out, what people won't stand for is a bad attitude.

I think you need to re-read your posts or maybe get someone who regularly uses forums to re-read your posts and then hopefully you will realise how you are coming accross, its not good. If those lads you trained kept saying they know better and ignoring you, you'd eventually lose patience with them?

You seem to think people are picking on you because you are new to this is not the case, its because of the attitude you seem to have.

Brain I think its unwise to go round burning bridges before you've even started.

Please in future don't hijack other peoples threads to grind your own axe!

Audery and anyone esle whose new to this site, honeslty the members are a very nice bunch, just as in real life remember your P's and Q's and we all get on fine.

P.S. I am PMSL at Brain trying to tell Amokavid the basics. Athough I think it was the wise Amokavid who pointed out we are constantly learning, which is so true.

i've read through this whole thread twice..
and i still have no idea what Brian is going on about!
whats your point exactly?! people have tried to help you but as far as i can see you dont want to listen because u arent getting the answers u want.

if you want to see the 1911 census for free, go to Kew and look at it there. if you are unwilling to do this, either pay for credits on www.1911census.co.uk...
or wait!!
goodness me!

I subscribe to Ancestry, but have bought credits from Find My Past to look at the 1911 census. not too dear if you only buy a few, and it has helped me immensely.

Apologies to any on who i have offended.

please forgive my lack of kowledge on genes and in general to adding messages i am clearly lacking in that skill. I am on a steep learning curve.

I found this thread searching for info on the 1911 census and audreys question was pertanent to the one i had.
i thought like minded peole on this site would also use this thread for the same question.
some great answer were given and fully understood by myself and i'm sure others who were looking for the related question.
some where through this thread i have offended some and sincerely appologise.
in reply to some views on me,
i will try to listen, and i will try not to come across with such a bad attitude,
forgive me if you felt that was the way i seem to appear.
I am a very pleasant person beleive me, and would help anyone. there were some other comments about me that i have taken on the hip, but still appologise to those who i have offended.
in all there still was some very helpfull advice given to me by members who found the thread the way i did, and came on to offer audrey and people like her inc me answers to the question and i thank those people who were very patient with me to make sure i understood exactly what the situation was. Thank you guys
Brian :@)
