Good News ! 1911 Census!

No I want to see Cenuses from Everyone on my tree, but I may go to National archives as I am not with FindMyPast (and they are probably going to charge extra)

I'd be looking for great great grandparents and also some great great great grandparents, and for once it looks like I'm with the right company

Have contacted FindMyPast and yes, when the 1911 Census starts it will be a pay-to-view site even to Full ubscription holders, but in time, prob when the initial rush is over, (how many years is that?) it will be included in tne Subscrition, but, who is to say what the cost of that subscription might be then?

i predict problems

I predict the full sub will still be less than the competition will be charging

I don't think there will be problems, but I think there will be a few full members of FindMyPast who will be a bit miffed about having to pay.  I've just been looking at the site at http://www.1911census.co.uk and I don't feel too bad about having to pay, because for the first time it looks like you will be able to find census returns by street address (no more wading through pages of streets to find the right one), and you'll also be able to look at actual census returns, and not the scribblings of emunerators.  Just hope that your ancestors had good handwriting !

Am I missing something here? If the 1911 site is ppv, there will  be no point in subscripbing to FindMyPast. I was intending to drop Ancestry next year & join FindMyPast, but there seems no need now

I've been a full member of FindMyPast for about a year now, before that I had bought PPV credits and I have 32 left that I have been meaning to email FindMyPast about.  However now I know what I can use them on  

Depending on what they charge of course

I think the reason they have decided to go pay-per-view is to stop individuals with a subscription offering look-up's for others, this way they ensure they make maximum profit, and let's face it when the time comes we won't be able to resist the temptation and will pay whatever it takes!
