Anc or fmp?
Just wanted opinions really... On which you think is better? Or is it a good idea to have both?

You need both if you can afford it as more new records added to both and updated weekly ,if I had to choose I would keep Ancestry Kind Regards RF

I did think having both might be worthwhile.. I wondered if each site holds different records. I'll probably go for both then!

Most UK libraries carry Ancestry and I find I'm using the LDS Family Search more and more.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.

Re: Anc or fmp?
Best to use the free services if possible for short transcripts only and finding records - but to see the actual records and all the details from LDS Films they are loaned to archives who then sell rights of films and holding of parish records (on going) to to FMP or Ancestry 
FMP have a good selection of used newspapers which are best looked up on the main newspaper archive site it has a better finding tool, then find them on FMP .

Re: Anc or fmp?
Cool, definitely sounds like FMP is worth having alongside anc. I did have them both originally but found I wasn't using fmp much so I cancelled it... But now I'm looking into things in more detail I think it could be useful!
