This site is easy to use and download images. It is great for non-conformist and Wills.

The quality of transcripts leaves a lot to be desired. You have to be creative in your research criteria.

In the past, I notified The Genealogist of transcript errors & ticked the box to be advised. I did this for a significant period of time simply because I know the importance of having access to good transcripts: these form the basis for the research functionality.

I stopped providing this free of charge service to The Genealogist when I received an email from The Genealogist complaining about the number of notifications I had made and that it kept staff too busy as they had other work to do.

I was gobsmacked: to this day have not forgotten the words which started off "It has come to my attention....."

Felt like I was at school again. I said to the woman that the site provides the facility to contact The Genealogist and doesn't limit the number of times for contact but this fell on deaf ears.

I still use the site because I am undertaking a lot of non-conformist research and it is good for Wills... (Read the full review)

In summary, I would recommend The Genealogist to a friend.
