“Good, but I have some recommendations for Find My Past”

★★★★☆

I have found some good information in the newspaper archives that helped a great deal with my family research in Lancashire and Yorkshire. However sometimes a newspaper page will come up and I can't find the search words I entered anywhere. Can you possibly highlight the search words found in the newspaper articles in yellow or blue so it is not always necessary to search the whole page over and over, sometimes finding nothing I do notice that sometimes the search results will show sections of a newspaper archive in a light shade indicating "look here" this is somewhat helpful but could be better and less time consuming for the consumer.

Also, some areas in the UK, have surnames in plenty in a small area. More info about birth, death and the whole detail on more marriage records would be great. PLACES NAMES are key to connecting immediate family members within a certain time period. Not just the town or parish. It would eliminate lots of mistakes. I end up spending more money for records by sending for them in order to get the Place Names of residences. Especially husbandmen or farmers. Also street names.

Over all it is a good resources but could be more friendly
