Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 3 Send Message	I am interested in other peoples views regarding the availability or reliability of the different websites, I have registered with a couple of sites and 1 (not this 1) is very good at finding matches and giving you good links. Is it just me or is there a very big difference in the data out there ? Regards K

	There are lots of genealogy sites with differing amounts of information - you pays your money and takes your choice!! I use Ancestry more than the others and Findmypast now and again. Kath. x

	Dear Keeley I used FInd My Past as it gave you the facility to check addresses for each census. I also found a parish record for my great-grandmother x 6 from 1793, relating to her baptism. So I would say, a good site. Easy to use as well. Best wishes xx

	I have found a lot on Ancestry, and they match you up with historical records. Also found a lot of other people researching the same families. Mo
