I don't recall seeing any discussion of this website (www.findmypast.com) on this list. Using the free search, I have found that the site has passenger records related to my Polish great-grandfather's immigration in 1907. He came to Ellis Island via Glasgow. I have already seen the Ellis Island records, but I was wondering whether the UK's outgoing records might add to what I already know. For example, I don't know how he traveled to Glasgow. I also wonder whether it might have information like occupation, etc. Is this the sort of information I could expect? I'd like to have some idea what to expect before I spend the money to get an image of the record. Comments from anyone who has used this site or is familiar with the available records would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Jeff

I chose the pay-per-view plan good for 365 days so I could use it when I needed it and not be wasting money at those times when I am busy with other projects. Remember they will be the only source of the 1911 census and I believe that will only be available as pay-per-view, not on unlimited subscriptions. Same as other sites and databases, sometimes there is good information about a particular person, sometimes not. I don't think there is a rule. I can tell you that the one outgoing passenger list I checked at both websites for one of my own families (not from Wales) did not have as much information as the incoming passenger list for the same voyage I got from Ancestry.com. But they are complementary resources. Some lists I find there, Ancestry does not seem to have. And all their images are much, much higher quality. With regards to your relative's travelling to Glasgow, that information would be more likely to be in the Hamburg passenger lists from Ancestry.com. I don't know if the data includes point of origin before departing the British Isles. I just know the passenger records I found, with my limited searching, were minimally helpful. There is a place for occupation, sometimes filled in and helpful, sometimes not. One nifty thing it has, in the "View Transcript" choice, is a list of the other passengers on the same voyage who have the same surname, in addition to basic information about the person who you selected. And, when it is available, details about the ship's capacity, captain, and other stuff. Passenger lists themselves are quite expensive in units, so I just use my credits on transcripts unless I really need a passenger list. Hopefully someone else with more experience using their immigration records may be able to fill in the gaps in helping with your decision.
