Has Findmypast lost it?

Oh dear, I was thinking of subscribing to FMP, not now! Not sure where to go, any idea anyone? Previously had 12 months with Ancestry and now not sure they have anything new to offer me.

 

Heard some fair things of the Genealogist but no personal experience. Am happy with Ancestry who seem to keep coming up with new bits, trouble is the new bits don't always appeal to everybody.

 

I used to use the Genealogist, but gave them up in favour of Ancestry, as they have so much more of relevance to the things I want to look for. I have had the odd foray into FMP of late, but haven't stayed long as the site seems so clumsy now.........I lose interest in what I'm looking for before I find it

Thanks

 

Same here. I've found some useful stuff on TG in the past, but keep coming back to A for their Birmingham and Yorkshire records. I did used to find FMP very useful but agree with others in that I find it hard going now.

 

I am also using my iPad and find I can't view any images. My PC is running on XP so I only use it when absolutely necessary, like when I need to print, as our printer is also too old for the iPad to recognise.
Hope FMP sort themselves out soon otherwise I probably won't renew.

 

Thank you for the reminder. I have updated my account accordingly to not renew in October.

As for the offer from TG this may work but I am reluctant to pay for anything on-line until my computer is replaced some time towards the end of June. So I'm going to sit tight until then.

In the interim I may attempt to figure out FMP. I have 2 chances - slim and no chance!

 

Hi Everyone, a friend mentioned that there have been mentions of TheGenealogist over here.

Just to give you some background about us. We are a family business, set up in 1992 by my parents. We are known for responding quickly to feedback so If you have any questions about TheGenealogist, please let me know.

Some of you have been asking what the differences are between FMP, Ancestry, GR and TheGenealogist. Who Do You Think Your Are Magazine created this chart to help you see the differences:

Like you with FMP but my Ancestry is still current, I have found various new Tit Bits appearing on Ancestry over the year also useful to recap on what has gone on. Personally I wont spend my money on FMP until they have sorted it out, after all you are paying while they sort it out. I used to be a member and it did have some advantages over Ancestry also some negative points over Ancestry as far as I was concerned. arryboy

 

Thanks Blackmogs, I will and likewise, if any of you have any questions about the TheGenealogist (or the offer), please let me know

 

The Genealogist seems to operate out of Wiltshire but its registered office seems to be in Jersey. I wonder why that might be and whether the Public Accounts Committee might have any thoughts on the matter.

 

Hi Peter, TheGenealogist was setup by my parents, who live in Jersey. I live over here in the UK (hence my location on my profile). I hope that clears things up.

 

Thanks Blackmogs, yes, Daft Bat alerted this to me after my first post (sorry). Anyone with questions about the offer - please PM me

 

Now that is under B for "logical"

 

Male logic then, evidently.
