I thought It put in the wrong address yesterday. I didn’t log in.
I think if I was new to all this I would find it off putting as all it seemed to mention was making a tree.
I used to find checking out the news section without logging in very useful.


If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!

Thanks Rose. I don't really like Facebook so not sure if I'd use it but I would be interested to know if Findmypast will add community boards. They might get more use than Genes.

I keep trying to justify to myself the cost of my Genes and Findmypast subscriptions (although I know Genes is only a small amount) but I really don't use the boards anywhere near what I did and I'm not really doing any research of my own anymore unless I come across something new by accident. When I suggest not bothering my son always persuades me that overall it's no more than the cost of a cup of coffee a week so I keep carrying on.

Kathleen there's an FMP forum recently started

I have not heard about any plans to have community boards, but I will enquire :-)

I was a bit confused when I saw the new home page this morning but once I realised that the search button was still there along with all the sub-categories (births, marriages, deaths, census etc.) then the searching is actually still the same - at least for what I use the site for.

I was wondering whether they will add community boards (if they don't already have them as I've never looked to see) and then get rid of Genes altogether as I'm sure it's only the community boards that get any use on here.

I'm interested to know what people who have a subscription think? ( or those considering a sub).
