Are you permanently logged in to FindMyPast main site?

I had troubles at first until I logged out of that.

Do you have a 'Sign in' choice towards the right hand side/ top of page?

I visited for the first time yesterday and found

8 more children for the tree and 3 more spouses all in Staffordshire.
Which means lots more 'follow ups' to perhaps trace the descendants of the children and the ancestors  of the spouses.
I now have to wait for Lancashire and perhaps solve the mystery of my paternal grandmothers birth location.

Yes, actually I am! Must give that a try

Didn't seem a problem for me.  I'm automatically logged into FindMyPast when I go there.  (unless it's firefox automatically logging me in, and not the FindMyPast keeping me logged in, if you see what I mean).

I had the same problem with it not finding someone by name, but then finding them under an address - fortunately I had a marriage certificate from later in 1911 for one of the children.

I'm so frustrated! I've emailed them to tell them there is an issue.

I just can't believe it. We finally get DNA confirmation of my husband's grandfather, we can't find out much about him, I get the chance to check him out on the 1911 census and hopefully could have given his two remaining living children some real info about their father.........and I can't get in!!!!!!

Sid bloody Dilley. I know you are out there somewhere!!!!!!

I get this :


We’re sorry, the site is very busy at the moment
