I've used it a couple of times. I've found useful things on there. The most awkward moment was when I bought a cert on the offchance it was the person I'd been looking for (it wasn't) and DRO went "hey, someone else bought that cert too, it looks like you are related! Here, have each other's email addresses!"

Everything seems to be working well now. In the section of what is coming in the future some Lanchester area Registers. Lanchester is not so well represented at present.

Just had a look at the site, and got this,

We apologize for the site's inaccessibility over the past 2 days. We suffered another server crash - hard to believe, on the heels of the recent previous crash, but it happened. The site will probably be down for about a half an hour sometime in the next 4 hours so we can move everything to a server with better backup capabilities. After that, we expect to be operating normally.

Looks like things should be right later.

That will really make me feel old, as it will undoubtedly include my baptism  :o

There is a facility to link people, who purchase the same.

Tick / Untick the appropriate box.
