I've been using Ancestry for the last few years but i'm thinking of trying something new. Can anyone advise me about other sites i could use. Personally i was thinking about FindMyPast.

I've always used FMP Rob: found them quite satisfactory, although all sites leave
much to be desired.....Just wish they would release 1921 census: as I feel that this
census would reveal so much to the older generation (like us)!!!! before its 'to late'????

I was leaning towards FindMyPast Sparky. I've cancelled Ancestry i'm a member till 18th May. Yes it would be good for the older generation(like you and San) to see the 1921 census.When is it supposed to be released?
