I agree with Mary Anne - FREECEN wins hands down. I have just informed find my past that they do not have one of my ancestors in their information and gave them the link for FREECEN to prove it..They found out I was correct. In Logie Pert 1841 Census - Folio 1. pages 5 & 6 are missing These pages are/were Blank on Scotlands People also so I got my credits back. Thanks to FREECEN . I got what was on the pages..seems there were 2 filmings (Freecen are going to update the information at some point) Kind Regards Margaret ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nivard Ovington" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, October 08, 2011 5:33 PM Subject: Re: [ANGUS] Scotlands 1841 & 1851 census "transcripts" on findmypast > > Hi Mary Anne > > I would heartily agree with you > > One thing you can do on freecen that neither Ancestry or findmypast offer > for Scotland is the > ability to go to the previous or next household > > Freecen is a bit slow but that facility is very useful, neighbours often > figure in the family in > some way and relatives often live close by > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > > >> "It was announced some time ago that findmypast would be releasing the >> census for Scotland sometime this year Well they have this morning >> released the 1841 & 1851 for Scotland Before you get to excited...." >> >> In order to save money listers should first look at Freecen where for >> many years hard working volunteers have been transcribing the census >> records.
