I've been subscribed to Ancestry for a couple of years now and found it really helpful in tracking down most of my rellies back to 1840ish. However it is quite expensive too, especially when you want to buy certs from GRO as well. |

Personally I find Ancestry the best value and have had a subscription for the last 5 years. |

I subscribed to findmypast but cancelled two days later. Quite a few of the searches I did came back with no record found but I knew the info was there as I'd seen it on Ancestry. As I'd cancelled within the time limit I got a refund minus any credits I'd used. I much prefer Ancestry. |

correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can put corrections on find my past ? At least with ancestry there are alternative spellings and mistranscriptions highlighted |

Thanks all (so far), does anyone make much use of 'address find' (findmypast)? I'm sure I managed it on ancestry once ages ago, but either it wasn't there or they did a re-arrangement of facilities again (?). |
