If you cannot find the code (enigma machines not needed) will you be able to find your family?   ;D  ;D
(says she who had to read the article 3 times)

And could I add an extra large thank you to Helen (aka NellW ) without whose link none of us living outside of the circulation area of said paper would have found the code

Could I also add my thanks  :)

I only read the thread last night when I got back and I've already used my free ones  - for a good RC cause mind  :D :D :D

Migky,  You'd probably be well advised to post your request as a separate new thread rather than hidden in this Free SP Credits thread!*

But, if you haven't already done so, do register with SP (free), get the free credits and follow up on SP.  A free SP surname search finds the following"
BELLAMACINA - 3 Statutory Register marriages, and 3 deaths
PAGLIARI - 1 SR marriage, 1 death
NATARANGILE - no results (you could try with wildcards)

Incidentally, Free Credits folk, has anyone tried to get the free credits more than once  :o  Could we all do it again and again and end up with hundreds of free credits ...

JAP
*Note - Moderator Boongie Pan has kindly separated the request out.

I was wondering about that, JAP, and have just tried it. It says, voucher can only be used once  :(

I suppose one could register under a differnet e-mail addie.

Hi Gadget,

Good on you for trying.  I was too chicken - felt I'd be embarrassed if found out  :-[

Yes, you are no doubt right about using different email addie(s) - but what a lot of effort that would be (though it might be fun!).

One does wonder whether SP (and the newspaper) realized that the promotion would quickly go round the world via the Internet.  Ah well, if they didn't they deserved what they got!

Cheers,

JAP

Think when you register as a new user that you have to give details like home address.
