	I've noticed quite a lot recently when I google something,e.g...Thelnetham+parish records....The sponsored links at the top come up with Genesreunited saying things like search free records....Surely that isn't right????...There are no records to search on here apart from members tress....Diane

	Its misleading I agree but I notice the wording is 'millions of records - free access' which I suppose is true, just that it doesn't specify what type of records or what one can access. The search engine is evidently set up to direct any searches with genealogy linked wording to the GR ad but agree searchers would then be misled into thinking that the type of records that they are searching for are available on GR. No wonder we get some totally unreasonable look up demands on these boards at times.
