Sometimes, if you apply to the local register office, where the event occured, thy some times copy the original register. Once I have seen on a certificate that was wrote by the registrar, and then on the same certificate I sent different handwriting - this I believe to be my relative's signature. |

Except in Scotland! Where for a reasonable fee you can see images of the orginal handwritten records. They might have your ancestor's signature on them. http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ |

With Find My Past, is it possible to view the original handwritten birth entries or are these typed as on Ancestry? |

I think it is wrong to try and compare sites in this way, as each is different and has its own strengths and weaknesses. Much depends on which records you are trying to research. |

I have been able to complete most of my tree by using ancestry.co.uk ( I have taken advantage more than once of their 14 free days offer) |

With all the comments I am reading about Ancestry which is the best site to join at the moment - Ancestry or Find My Past. Mostly looking in the UK but have some ancestry in Australia and New Zealand. |
