Hello RootsChatters,
We had a very successful weekend 'Digging Up The Past', and finding many 'Missing Links'.
We accessed both sites - 'findmypast.co.uk' and 'findmypast.com.au'
There was a few little hiccups at times, which is only to be expected, given the number of people who would have been trying to access the sites. With patience we worked through. I am sure even now they will be working through to overcome these minor problems.
It certainly has got all the various research sites thinking, and perhaps a little concerned, as to what people want when they do their Research.
As there were many Surveys flying around, from 'Scotland's People', 'Ancestry' and 'findmypast'.
When you Log-Off from 'findmypast' you can participate in a Survey, this may help to give some feedback directly to them, which can only benefit everyone in the long run.
Well done 'Findmypast', thank you.
Looking forward to the next 'Special Weekend'.
In the meantime we are still sifting through the various records.
It would be great if Scotland's People, could give us a 'Special Weekend'.
We currently have 'Pay As You Go' - Subscriptions to 'Scotland's People' and 'Findmypast', but only use 'Ancestry', when they have open access.
