Here's a tip: don't spend too long on genealogy in one sitting; it can really get confusing at times if you're like me and do a bit of research on one family and jump to another when you hit a brick wall. After about 2 hours my mind is so full of names, dates and place names I have to go for a cuppa before returning to my studies.
I relate to this so much I call it ADHD Genealogy. The flitting from one name to another as to continue searching SOMEBODY ANYBODY
Thank you David
I too had come up with some of your ideas , as many people did on their own. The 25 hits per search is one I use a lot.
I think there is some change as I pay 1 credit per page to just look at my 25 hits- which makes it more important. I also use other sites to narrow down my searches.
Also use the wonderful people here on Rootschat to point you in the right direction
For me in Oz , as an example of foreign exchange, I pay $14 plus change most times for 30 credits. I am not as reliant on certs as many on here are. Living in Australia I tend to accept I wont be visiting the Kent Archive Centre or the Glasgow Reading Room anytime soon. I have a subscription to a major site and use that to find Archive Records where available - that suffices me - for now. Every now and then I will spend 5 credits on a downloaded cert from SP and I treat that like a certificate sent by the GRO.
Thank you for your tips from 11 years back.
Just a note : I too was wary of SP and the set up - but for what I have received I am eternally thankful for the opportunity SP gives us in other lands
