I have just received an email from GR concerning the new birth records. I tried them out with the names of three people I had already found in the births index and lo and behold the so called improved site couldn't find them. Some advancement!!

I am very new to all this but have managed to build quite a large tree (on geni.com - oops). I got the email about the birth records but I must be thick. To know that a birth was on page whatever of volume whatever (or whatever it says) , how does that help? I put in my grandad to try it out. Yes, he is there. It tells me he was born. Err, I knew that. What else can it tell me?

I think that the idea is that you don't have to troll through loads of pages until you come to the one you are looking for!
