fairyworld14 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 We are both Pagans so we are thrilled to bits about being descended from the Pendle Witches.

Rushup Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 I signed up for the free trial and milked it for all I could but, unfortunately, didn't get very far. Briefly I considered paying someone but it's a bit too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is usually a time restriction of one hour but sometimes this can be extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimo Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Paying someone else might be ok for some, but for me the fun is in finding the information myself. With patience and luck, even the biggest wall can be breached eventually. I have just found that one of my ancestors Richard Revell features in a series of books by Bernard Knight, so I have just ordered the first one to see how they portray him.
