I have just bought the latest FH and am still trying to learn about it all before I do the big switch over from FH3. Whilst browsing and googling names I came across this web site, has anyone used or subscribed to it. I couldn't see any subscription details on the web site so went to their Facebook page and asked where I could find the info. I got a reply from the company asking me to contact them via their customer service email address with my email. Am I being silly or is there something odd about this ??

You can check out the site via the Dick Eastman posts.
I have uploaded a cut down tree to it, but so far it's not been very productive (only the free version).

It is a 'pay for' search engine tailored to genealogy, with a few extras.
I used the free Beta version and found it ok, but no better than Google.
To get the full potential requires a subscription.
There is an offer to save some money at the moment but on seeing that, I didn't bother going further, and saved myself the full price.

thanks Jane, it has found someone with a tree featuring people I would like to know about and I can give them info. I can't see how to contact the person whose tree I am interested in.
[confused]
I will read more of the link later, thanks again. At least it seems to be an official site if you know what I mean.

Look for the same thing with any other search engine.

Hi there,
I enjoyed reading your questions and concerns and am very happy to tell you more about Mocavo.com. Mocavo has two membership types: Mocavo Basic (which is free, always free) and Mocavo Plus (which is our subscription service).
You may choose to sign up completely for free and just use our basic search bar to access our genealogical index. You may choose to sign up for the 7 day trial of Mocavo Plus, which allows you 7 days to try the Plus features before paying for the service. With Mocavo Plus you will have access to our Advanced Search (which includes alternate spelling features, date ranges, exclusions, and geo-targeting), Automated Family Tree Connections (our database provides you with connections from our index to names in your family tree that you upload to our site), New Content Email Alerts (notifications when we add new content to our index that is related to previous searches that you've ran) and more!
I'd love to answer any additional questions you may have. Please email me at
katelyn@mocavo.com or visit Mocavo.com/faq to read more about our service. You can also visit Mocavo.com/plus to learn specifically about the Mocavo Plus service.
Thanks a lot!
Katelyn
