Why Pay For Information From the Internet ?

Presenter – John Hanson FSG

No one likes to pay for information unless they have to and, whilst there is an increasing trend towards more information going into pay per view sites, there is still a lot around for free – if you know where and how to look. This talk looks at some of the interesting sites that enable you to find the free information but also points out the limitations of not paying.

John has been researching family history for nearly 40 years, is a member of the Guild of One-Name studies and former trustee of the Society of Genealogists for 14 years. He has been lecturing on and teaching family history for nearly 20 years including at Who Do You Think You Are Live. He is Currently the Research Director for the Halsted Trust.
