There's been a quite a large box on the right-hand side of the home page of familyhistoryonline for months, saying that the data is being transferred to findmypast.
Actually I might have a final five-quids-worth to just check on those odd data sets which can't be transferred to fmp.

As of midnight 18th February 2009 they are not accepting any more users or payments.

You may be interested to know that, according to the SoG list, the site administrators intend to annotate the database list to indicate which datasets are transferring to findmypast and which are disappearing into limbo.

And you never know what little gem(s) you might find.
I remember doing a blanket search for one surname and finding burial dates and plot numbers in a very large cemetery for two people who had died when quite young. Saved me going when looking on later censuses for the family.

Yes I have just woken up to the fact that I had some pennies to spend, so did a few blanket searches to find my gggrandfather had been commited to prison in 1841, the one year that no census for him is in existance! So even if I don't know where his family are I have a clue where he is!:
