Just looked at the webfamily.org but can't work out how to register - any ideas?

The information does seem accurate though
KEEN and HAGAN in London/Kent/Surrey
PINFOLD in Warwickshire/Northampton
RYAN in Tipperary
MANTLE in Staffordshire/Derbyshire

Hi there,

Welcome to Rootschat.   :D

We are yet to find anyone who has managed to log in yet sorry.  It looks to me as if this site is still under construction with just a few users registered at present.

I haven't been able to register either, but the site is still a useful free source of deaths from 1996 to 2002. It even lists a few from 2002 that aren't on Ancestry (presumably because they were in the last quarter and filed late).

It's http://www.webfamily.org.uk

Though the site seems to be down at the moment.

I got this message...

There are more than 4 million records available inside this
private area. Unfortunately we cannot accept any new
registrations at this time.


I wonder if they've hit a legal problem or just a capacity issue?

I just arrived at the site and found it fully functional - within its design limitations. However, I only found "more of the same" and, except for some recent death records, it seems to be a portal to other sites and, in that, far less useful than Genuki. ;)
The search method is not a full database search but a cascading type of entry or drill-downs I think they are called i.e click on M, choose MO, Mor, Morg and then you can see how many  Morgans died in the past few years [but where?]. I suppose they will improve on this but it is a tedious waste of time at present. ???
The PRO search for death records for recent years is much faster than the early years where you have to grope through quarter by quarter so it seems that this facility is available to us anyway.
Southern or Southan [Hereford , Monmouthshire & Glos], Jenkins, Meredith and Morgan [Monmouthshire and Glos.], Murrill, Damary, Damry, Ray, Lawrence [all Middx. & London], Nethway from Kenn or Yatton. Also Riley and Lyons in South Africa and Riley from St. Helena.

Never having heard of this site I clicked onto it and found under McGurn 2 of my apdotive brother and sister who both died in 1996. Funny thing is they haven't got their  other 3 siisters and brother  who died in the 1920's but who are also on my tree which is on Ancestry.com

All the other 12 McGurn's listed also died recently so wonder how they are getting names and putting them on the site? Are they looking at trees on line and putting recent deaths on. (One McGurn died in 2000)

Tried to click on Kaths name but got the red message.
