rebeccakl's review of Family Relatives www.familyrelatives.org

“FamilyRelatives - I came across this little know site...”

★★★★★

written by rebeccakl on 23/06/2005

Good Points
Fully searchable years for Birth, Death and Marriages for 150 million records. It has another 150 million records which are searchable by surname and forename only

Bad Points
Does not have the period 1837 to 1865 available

General Comments
FamilyRelatives - I came across this little know site but what a difference. I have been able to find four of my ancestors already at a fraction of the cost of other websites. It has 150 million fully searchable names - I searched on surname forename and district and found three of the entries almost immediately. I was also unsure of the exact district for one ancestor and searched on area, e.g., Hampshire, which was really useful.

The main difference with this website is that it has everything that other genealogy websites has, however the main advantage is cost and the fact that it is fully searchable for 1866-1920 and 1984 to present day. For 1921-1983 it is similar to other websites where you have to search on a surname and forename range.

Much better and can't wait for the fully searchable data for 1921-1983.

I believe they have now added the material for 1837-1865. Therefore they have the full range from 1837-2003.

<br>The best thing about this website is the fact that they have more transcribed records than anyone else for the Births, Deaths and Marriages. Also all the images are greyscale which is obviously better than black and white.
