To be honest I wouldn't be without Findmypast and Ancestry. Because the records have been transcribed in slightly different ways you can do different seaches on each one. Findmypast for has recorded much more address information about addresses - so you can search on a street name and name and find people at their addresses across the years. Ancestry is good for other things. Great to hear Alex's presentation. Good to put a face to the company.
Very energetic young man! Loads of information. The key to overcome in my mind is starting with the right ancestor right out of the gate. That will be key.
I really like FMP. I find the data helps me considerably for searching my English ancestors. I use three other search engines but FMP has data the others sometimes don’t have. I also like the data analysis methodology. I many ways FMP is my favourite tool.
Thank you. I was able to find my grandmother by and her parents marriage and the bc of her siblings...from Belfast. My gym death certificate. The prize find was finding the PhiladelphiA Pa Catholic Baptisms. Found the real name of my Polish grandmother,who was born in Philly but her Polish name her parents gave her. This site is wonderful
I found so much info on my family thru the records for most of the parishes in Philly. Even found my parents baptismal and marriage registries. FMP has even helped me trace my irish ancestors thru the Philly marriage registries. Most times, the records indicate the town lands in Ireland where they came from. The City of Philadelphia marriage application records helped so much as well!
Thanks Connie for grabbing interesting and relevant speakers and topics. I look forward to every Friday morning. Alex mentioned the Allen County Library. Would this be a good topic for a future episode?
Great episode. I use FMP but really learned some new technique and records sets from Alex. Their Catholic Parish Registers in the US are great. have also had fun with Dog License database in Ireland.
Since this was recorded, the 1921 census is also available. With a subscription, you still pay for viewing image and transcription for the 1921 but this is normal for census releases. They will start 'free with sub" in 2-3 years after some costs have been recovered (again, same as in the past).
I was going to sneak on the last video and ask about previous videos about researching a past 5th great grand-father from England. I noticed the search magnifying glass and saved the question. Now I have to decide the best time to jump into FindMyPast. Because I can see myself signing up and then not getting the most out of my free time. I don't mind paying for the most part if there is information that can be utilized. I, unlike you, have not fine tuned the ability to be focused and narrow in my research. Anyways, thanks you for making this video.
I really prefer FMP. Been a subscriber for years and found it to be very well done! Transcriptions not perfect but much better than another popular site. Example, who would transcribe Ernest as Carniett???
My great grandparents surnames were Hone and they and my ancestors lived for centuries around the Oxfordshire and Warwickshire area and I was just wondering if this means they have any relation, whether distant or not with the Anglo-Irish Hone family who can trace their origins back to Samuel Hone from Marlborough. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it.
I would test at Ancestry first for autosomal dna. You'll get more cousin matches there. I would also consider testing at FamilyTreeDNA for the YDNA at minimum.

Good point. Yes Alex is great!
I love FMP. What I love about it is that they have the digitized documents and not just transcripts.
Me too!

Always excited to learn about more search engines for the UK. Thank you!
Wonderful presentation. You are delightful!
Thank you so much 😀
Wow, great info! I cannot wait to visit this website. Thank you so much!

Good to know where the censuses are coming out yay
You should do a video about Scandinavian genealogy [Denmark, Sweden, Norway]
I would love that.
Great overview of FMP...I've been using it for years and still learned a few things!! And Alex is such an enthusiastic guide to the site :)
Thank you.

Yes it would. I need to find someone there.
