Review of Findmypast

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I wish there were more records…

I wish there were more records available. I have found for example that with New South Wales records, they start to get a bit patchy after 1920 or so, often nothing is there -BD&M & voters lists. Also I have found a lot more records on ancestry.com pertaining to London England than on findmypast. ANCESTRY seems to have a deal with the London metropolitan archives, which cuts out a lot of important content from findmypast.
One thing in you favour is that I find it impossible too navigate the official Tasmanian BDM website esp. pre 1900 and your site makes it easy.
