She named the Explorer package which is currently £89.95 per year - discounts sometimes available. What she didn't say was whether the cost of the Explorer package would be increased.

FindMyPast said (in their January newsletter, I think) that there will be a new subscription package launched which will include 1911.  Explorer subscribers will have to pay a supplement for 1911 access.  No prices have yet been quoted.

“The census will be available on findmypast.com later this year, as part of a brand new subscription package. Existing findmypast.com subscribers will be offered an add-on package at a preferential rate.”

There is some acrimonious discussion on the 1911 blog about this.  People who took out FindMyPast subs in response to the December marketing campaign feel they have been misled.  I can understand why.

Many thanks for your replies.  I think I will wait a while and plan exactly how many lookups I want to make before deciding what to do.

All the best

Not sure if the latest news is up somewhere but I can't find it posted anywhere obviously.

Good news from the blog for Durham and the remaining Yorks Ridings:

Next 3 English counties: preparing for loading
March 3rd, 2009

We are preparing the next counties for loading onto the website during March. Depending on the speed of the data load and any problems found, we anticipate they should be available in 2-3 weeks.

At a minimum we will load the 2 remaining Ridings of Yorkshire and Durham. We may be able to get one or two others in at the same time if all goes well.
