There's no such thing as a free lunch. This is presumably an ad from a genealogy website - Ancestry or some such - and will give you very limited functionality. Essentially, you'll be able to find the record, but you'll then have to pay to read it, possibly taking out as much as a year's subscription.

I liken it to the 'free' check you can do on your credit record.
They offer you free access for a month or so and all you have to do is register.
I presume people are aware they are enlarging the firms database when they provide the requested information.
The firm gets you to do all their work and then has the cheek to charge you for it if you persist!

 

thank you for that wont be going any further cheers
