This system has an excellent system for entering family members as you go. It does not take long before you have your near relatives up on the screen, and little green leaves start appearing, indicating that the system has found records that may well apply to you family member. You can look at the record it has found, and if for the right person, you can attach it to your own records.
Often, un-looked-for information turns up: for example, looking at a record from the 1881 Census showed me not only the street address the family (and teenage daughter)was living in at the time, but next door was the boy the daughter was to marry a few years later!
Of course, if the name in question is John Smith, there may well be more records for non-relatives. Rather like looking people up in the phone book!
