Agree that newspapers on Findmypast are not up to usual standard but organization of other records is far superior to other providers.

I found that the search function is inadequate and it 't retrieve articles which I knew existed no matter what details I entered.<br /><br />I would be much more excited if Ancestry had been given the contract. At least then the user would have the function to search the registers rather than simply typing in a name and hoping for the best!
