Has anyone ever compared their surname records found on FMP to those records found on Ancestry. I did last evening and I was quite surprised that FMP had no records of my surname in the 1851 census but I have found details in 1851 on Ancestry.
The reseason I did this was because I am thinking of registering my surname with GOONS. It is an unusual name and I have quite a collection of information not just on my direct tree but on side lines as I love to see where all the Burwash names I find connect to my tree. I use Ancestry all the time I wanted to see if there was further information I could gain from FMP. I just thought it was strange that I compared the same records and the results were different.
