Every Friday with great anticipation I go to the FindMyPast Fridays page to see if any of the latest batch of uploads might be of use to me. I can then spend some considerable time doing lookups of the new datasets for my numerous brick walls. Very rarely do I get a "hit" that is new to me (often the records are online elsewhere or else I've already bought the appropriate FHS cd)
I have a FindMyPast subscription and recently I've become aware of a notification (top right) which offers to do this time-consuming work for me if I upload my tree. I'm sure others have done this. For those of you who have been researching for a number of years and whose brick walls are back in the 1700s, is it proving useful? Are you getting new "hits" every time a new dataset is loaded and how relevant are they in terms of date and location?
