Findmypast markets itself as the best family history website for British research and there’s certainly a lot going for it. Like Ancestry it holds all the main records that family historians rely on such as census and birth, marriage and death records and there is quite a lot of overlap between the two sites. For example they both offer First World War records, and parish registers for certain areas such as Wales or Norfolk are available across both sites. However, there are also some major differences.
