Findmypast Sub

[verezzi]

Hi,

I am looking to sub to Findmypast ideally for one month only. I am finding all the options a bit confusing. I want the usual record access but I am also hoping to include the 1921 Census and if possible British Newspapers.

I am offered this monthly 'Everything' deal (attached) I am just checking if anyone knows if it will include the 1921 Census and also if it will be for only one month or is it going to try and tie me into 3, 6 or 12? Sorry if this is an obvious answer. I have a month off work from a busy job so don't mind playing slightly higher to just have it for one month.

Thank you, all the best,

Dan

They make comparison easy.

So premium does include 1921, but its a 3 month minimum..

But as it's a personal-to-you offer, ask FindMyPast!

Thanks, i saw the Premium but I want a month if possible, might give it a whirl then. Thank you

The 7 day trial does not include the 1921 census, which seems fair imo.

Sign up and blitz it for the 7 days.

The day after you subscribe cancel the auto renewal, £25 a month is way over the top for a subscription.  They say they have 5 million members, which is very small compared to Ancestry’s 25 million.

I got a FindMyPast everything for £140, which is still way more than the £89.99 Ancestry Worldwide that I pay, but for me it was worth it for the blanks I needed to fill in.

IMO once you have all the 1921 Census records that you need plus all the Newspaper articles checked there is little else of use on FindMyPast.  It does not do DNA so that makes it for me a very dubious site for anyone serious about producing a Biological Family Tree. 

I have got everything I need out of FindMyPast and whilst it is there I use Ancestry as my default family tree site.

If you're in the UK, check what subscriptions your local library has for free.  It's not as convenient as researching at home but vey useful.

Findmypast have a huge amount of records not on Ancestry, many thousands are being added monthly, including new Newspapers. I posted a long post here as to to why some of the blanket statements you and others make on the site (such as it only having UK records) are not really fair or correct. It is a site based on high quality records, mostly with much better image and transcription quality than Ancestry and without the completely nonsensical and false hints which Ancestry produces

AND if you find an error in transcription then it is easy to contact FindMyPast, who will acknowledge receipt AND invariably amend their mis-transcription.

Additions are made EVERY WEEK to records and newspapers.

I don't do DNA so cannot comment on that.

I agree with BumbleB and Melba!

I ignore all "hints" from Ancestry - they are a waste of time.
I, too, don't do DNA.

And, FindMyPast and Ancestry have different databases.
