Sheelagh said: "I enjoyed having findmypast.co.uk to use.  They are both very good and enjoyable to use.  Thanks, Nick, for setting up both of them for the class to use and thanks to both companies for giving us free access."

Robert said: "It has been the most revealing experience that I have ever had.  If it hadn't been for all the information nade available by findmypast.co.uk and Ancestry then I would not know my father's family or my relations.  I have only done some and there is much more I will learn in the future."

"I enjoyed the course although I feel I still have a lot to learn.  When I was able to find evidence of family members by accessing findmypast.co.uk and Ancestry it was so amazing that it brought the past to life.  It is addictive but I want to discover all I can about my family," said Maureen.

Helen said: "I have found that findmypast.co.uk is a great site.  I have found it to be very informative and absorbing.  I am now hooked on to this Ancestry site and am considering having it at home."

Pauline said: "The course was exciting and enlightening.  It brought my ancestors back to life for me.  I even contacted relatives in the USA that I hadn't known before.  None of this would have happened without the generous access afforded to us by findmypast.co.uk and by Ancestry for which we are all most grateful."

About Ancestry Marg said: "I have found Ancestry impressive when I was looking for my family.  I was able to go back to my great great great grandfather.  Brilliant!  I have done the family tree from my great great grandfather Stephen W Cuthbert right up to the present day.  Thank you."  And about findmypast.co.uk Marg had this to say: "After I had gained confidence using the website I was able to gather some good results.  I am doing the family trees from my father's side of the family.  At first it was difficult to separate my grandmother from her mother, both of whom have the same name!  In the end I was able to do both trees successfully.  Thank you, findmypast!"

Sylvia said: "Thanks to findmypast.co.uk and Ancestry for allowing us to use their services for free.  Without them I would find searching for my family a lot more difficult!  I was able to go back a bit further than expected and found some great info about my family."

Margaret said: "Having the chance to do the Family History course has been amazing.  I have now subscribed to findmypast.co.uk so I can now delve into both sides of my late husband's family and my own."

Thank you findmypast.co.uk!
