Something not quite right? FreeBMD servers have capacity issues at intervals. Timeouts on any system including PeeCees with Firefox or IE in use will show the problem. In the periods where such timeouts occur, try again at a time when the USA is likely to be sleeping. Remember that the USA has precious little history[1] for those with european ancestry so their ancestral searches quickly end up in the UK or western europe. [1] Archaeological digs in the UK can start with big shovels or a JCB, in the USA they tend to start with a paintbrush dusting layers off more gradually. -- Steve Pampling
