The Common Room / Find MyPast
« on: Friday 11 September 20 03:19 BST (UK) »
Quick question.
Does anyone use Find my Past these days ? If so is it worth joining ?
I used to subscribe before the massive change a few years ago but opted out and haven't used it since.
Many thanks
Trish.

Thanks for the update.
Can someone kindly tell me how long they normally take as I only ever order by mail ?
Wondering if it may be better to wait a while before ordering.
Thanks

The Common Room / Re: What would you do?
« on: Thursday 19 December 19 23:10 GMT (UK) »I think that you should make contact, without telling the rest of the family.
If it works out and a relationship is formed between you two, you can then make a decision (with your aunt) as to who else might be told.
If a relationship is not formed, you will have lost nothing and neither will any of your family.
Christmas is coming (The Season of Good Will to All Men), start with a Christmas card and a cheerful letter. See what kind of response you get.
Good Luck
Regards
Chas
100% Agree.

The answer may be to ring Ancestry, I have always found them to be extremely helpful and solve the problem whilst you are talking. Save yourself a lot of stress.
Good luck

I found one of a distant relative serving time in San Quentin for the forgery of cheques, this was his 4 trip to San Quentin, lovely mugshot.

Yes, once a few years ago, and they only came back with the information which I had given to them. I have done my own research ever since. My opinion was it was a waste of time. Ask forums for help or persevere on your own.
Good luck

The Common Room / Re: Changes to FIND MY PAST "My Records"

Not 100% sure Ruskie but from memory (Which is not as good these days) but I think it goes by the date, and because time is so short for me to do anything properly I will get myself all stressed out and it really isn't worth the hassle.
FindMyPast where never the same after they changed their format and had everyone abandon ship for a while but I stuck with it, the usual thing wipe your feet on the most loyal, after all you are only a number with a $ sign.
Thanks Ruskie
Trish
