Findmypast, 185 Fleet Street, EC4A 2HS, London, GB
Findmypast is a homegrown family history company that helps people discover their origins. It started in the UK but now has millions of customers around the world, who use its family records to trace ancestors, build family trees and contact distant relatives.
I have found a lot of things that the others once does. Also I like the percentage as well.
I haven't used the site too much. I had a little difficulty putting in some information. Once I figured that out I was pleased with the hints that showed up with two of the names I entered. I definitely will be doing more research and adding more names.
I enjoyed the app and found it easy to navigate
I'm finding family i havnt even heard of, it's interesting to see what your family did for jobs back in the day, but you also find out family secrets that have been hidden for many years
I know it was a free trial but It was hard to find some details or how to search properly. It did not tell me anything I did not already know.
Things come up and still don't give access even though paying monthly subscription 😑
My question was answered timeously.
Great and very straightforward with useful information. Very accurate.
This is my go to site for researching. Find the search facility very easy. Would recommended any would-be genealogist!
Really enjoying doing my tree. Lots of secrets to find thank you for the hints really helpful
So much information
Cannot access the site Every time I log in it wont accept my password I have sort to alter the word but do not receive the code number even though it advises that it has been emailed Please advise
Incorporating newspapers into the site is fantastic, the more the better. Facility for DNA recording and analysis would be good.
I can find out more about my dad's side of the family as we don't know much about them the only downside I'd say is you need to pay to access some content.
I have used findmypast over many years with good results but intermittently Back in the day, as they say, I could then buy one off subscriptions to use as I pleased Now, as I understand it, I have to sign up By direct debit which I do not want to do as I am not that active researching often - I am 90 years old - can you help me please ?

I already had a good idea of my family tree but lost information on another site. I find the hints are good and at certain times of the year you get to search free over a weekend. I feel sometimes though they are giving me hints for information I have provided
I enjoy using find my past.
Hi Ryan Thanks for the information. The information i have already have and including all the hints I am going to double check if the hints are up to date then I will think about increasing my subscription. Many thanks. Evelyn Simpson.
I can’t access my account because of the hoops I have to go through and the poor help I have from the computer.
Using find my past was difficult. It just seemed to pick up on what I put in, rather than linking to new information. Documents were often only available on other websites. It was extremely difficult to build a family tree and get people into the right place on the tree.
