Good morning

Yes they are, but its the first time for me of trying this source so was a little cuffed with myself.
Although I don't have a log in for this website.

Sorry x

ErikaH Report 1 Apr 2020 15:11

Nothing to be sorry for. I merely made an observation based on the layout of the info

Samantha

Samantha Report 20 Mar 2021 15:56

Good afternoon

Almost a year on and I now have the chance to sit down for a weekend and pull my family tree apart and build it back up with the correct information that has been so kindly found for me.
I've also had time to think about what it is that I want from my tree and yes seeing how far back you can get is a great thing, but its not about that.
For me its about where these people lived what their living conditions were tracking them on the census finding out what they done for a living their addresses.
I want to build a picture and discover every little detail that i can.
I want to be able to go to churches and find Parish records for them.

I have signed up to Ancestry, but have no idea what I'm doing on there so if anyone has any advise i welcome that.

Again i would like to thank everyone for their help and support.

Samantha <3

Thank you x

Could you please tell me what FMP is and how i go about using it.

As i feel this would be something good for me to learn and do myself rather than bombing everyone else for the answers.

FMP is Find My Past website. Costs about the same as Ancestry, but does - I believe - offer a short free trial period.

BUT.....helpers on here enjoy looking for info, so don’t worry about asking ;-) ;-)

Ah right, i got you now.
So there is a subscription for using this site (that's fine)

I just didn't want to be seen as not helping myself and looking like asking people to do the work for me :-D
