I am indebted to many on GR for helping me along the way with my family tree.

Obviously I am on this site and also The Genealogist, what other site in your opinions are worth subscribing to, to prevent me having to ask others help so often.

I do use Family Search, but find that not all parishes have yeilded up their records to the Mormons and those that have done so are not always consistent, ie some dates are missing.

I use Ancestry and FMP most of the time. Just recently I have been looking at Family Search Pilot and have found it a good source of information.

Shirley

I've just tried the Pilot Family search....does it use the same data base as normal Family Search? I'm getting the same "no results" with that as I do with the Family Search web site.
