I've just received an e-mail to say that this site is due to close in the next couple of days.  All records held by them, will be available via Find My Past.

I hadnīt realised they still existed. Used to use them several years ago, but stopped when a lot of the records they had became available elsewhere.

I haven't really used them.  I did know that they were associated with the Borthwick in York, and that now there is a link between Borthwick and FindMyPast.  I've always dealt direct with York when ordering copies and have visited them fairly regularly.

Maybe just me, but I find it a bit sad that everything seems to be shrinking towards Ancestry and FindMyPast, and consequently we are "guided" by them, in our research  :o  Ah well!!!  :-X

Agree that it is not good to go too much in the direction of "monopoly" :)

No. Findmypast and Ancestry are competitors, but between them have cornered a significant portion of the market.

Continuing from Craclyn's comments "Findmypast" is a privately held UK-based online genealogy company.

ancestry.com is a publically traded corporation based in Provo, Utah. Stock symbol ACOM

I had about 6-months left on Origins so FindMyPast have extended my World sub by 12-months to compensate.  As I'd already taken advantage of their half-price offer a few months ago I'm now subscribed until May 2017  ;D

Ancestry stopped being a publicly traded company when Permira, a London-based private-equity firm, bought it in 2012.
