i've been reading through findmypast's feedback forum, and am listing some of the things they are planning or launching.
RECORDS
-england electoral records 1832-1932 and more post 1900
-better newspaper coverage- including better coverage of the first world war
-england non conformist records
-improved emmigration and travel records
-more parish records (not specific of which ones, but yorkshire is being done)
-workhouse and hospital records
-mother's maiden name search box for GRO post 1911 births
-search by parish
SITE IMPROVEMENTS
-uploading images, documents and audio to family trees
-attaching records to trees
-variations search for other members of household on census (previous just the person you were looking for could be found with a name variant)
-ability to 'rate' records so you don't need to save them to 'my favourites'
-occupation search in census searches (assuming this would be all census?)
- (in the long term) link census date with maps
-ability to search census by reference numbers
-importing GEDCOM's
-greater site capacity
-payment with PAYPAL
some interesting ideas under review:
-a national BMD index compiled from local registrars- including mother's maiden names, marriage partners, and age at death
-a closer relationship with scotlandspeople- suggesion being some free credits with FMP subs
-old maps contrasted with modern maps, to see where streets used to be
-national school registers
-search GRO indexes via district
-searching parish records with parents names
-ability for adding alternate transcriptions
a suggestion of records to upload, which is labelled 'planned' though not specifically stated which records are planned:
