We've started a series on using Find My Past for family research.

I always like to look at the background of a company before I upload my family tree to their website.

Find My Past is a long-established company that started out in 1965 as a small firm providing probate research for lawyers e.g. looking for descendants to settle an estate.

It's a fascinating story as to how they went from there to being a massive archive of British and Irish genealogy records (and newspapers).
