Slinga, Unfortunately it is not possible to cover all the bases by subscribing to one site only. This is because, in the UK, local archivists can choose who they want to use to upload their records. Some chose ancestry and some FMP. I have ancestors in East Yorkshire and some record data is on ancestry, some on findmypast and some more in local record offices.

Except for Scotland where Scotland's People has pretty much all the records you will ever need. It's good because it's not subscription it's pay as you go and any docs you have paid for are available indefinitely.

Next important is being able to print out a hard copy of the family tree.
As far as I can see only My Heritage allows that, although all three will keep the family tree in the archives and allow access even if you are no longer a paying member.


So for me now the clincher between Ancestry and Find my Past is which one allows to print the tree.
Anyone know the answer to this????

Don't bother, just download the gedcom and put it into a program, take your pick from here

Why use a third party when I now know that Ancestry allow me to print my tree.
Maybe Find my Past does as well.

If you know this then why did you ask?

Faraway provided a perfectly reasonable alternative proposal.

I didn't ask for an alternative proposal.

Good luck with getting further help if that's your attitude.

If my questions aren't answered then no help is given.
Can't you see that.


You've got a strange attitude as well.


Bit of a bully are you? Or do you just like sticking your nose in and criticising without providing any help yourself.

I subscribe for a month, every now and again, it's easy to cancel. My guess is that most users don't subscribe for very long at a stretch. I personally wouldn't try to cram everything into a 14 day trial.

Like I guess everyone else, you can find quite a lot of info going back a couple of generations, then it gets hard. In addition to the obvious "John Smith from London" issues, you might find others with trees that include your relatives going back to the 17th century... they look very well researched but can be completely wrong... take them with a generous pinch of salt.

Good fun!
