In the footsteps of Victor Frankenstein, 'Find My Past' has also created a monster which isn't accepted by society!
To anyone thinking of joining the 'Find My Past' website, take advice from a long-term subscriber and steer clear for the time being. Although the genealogy information FMP gives access to is first class, the new format has made it nigh on impossible to actually find it without a lengthy rigmarole of options and key presses, if at all. Newcomers will find it extremely confusing and laboriously slow. It certainly isn't the trusted and highly acclaimed website that we members originally subscribed to and, as it is at the moment, I wouldn't even recommend it to seasoned researchers.
FMP has obviously chosen to ignore the fact that time, tide and dissatisfied customers wait for no-one, but the rapid migration of former FMP subscribers to alternative genealogy sites is a warning it would be unwise to reject.
In summary, I would not recommend FindMyPast.com to a friend.
