Try signing out, then before you sign in again, go to the front/home page. In the top right hand corner is a bit about football widows. Click on that, and try signing in from there. Worth a try.

Re: FindMyPast 1911 Free on Friday

Although it's still saying how many credits required for each transcription or image it is still letting you search and pull up transcription without charge.  Images are not coming up.  So far this has been on the passenger lists I've searched.
I'm getting 0 results on any 1911 census searches and of course the whole thing is slow.

So don't be put off by the pop ups saying #credits required.

Good luck all.

I have just enjoyed over an hour of free access to FindMyPast and found (I think) my grandma in 1911!  I have also found Military records for my husband's great uncle at last.  Earlier searches had yielded no result so I am pleased with my 'free gift'  ;D

Well its still not working for me, but I suppose I shouldn't complain I had some luck last week.

Plus, I didn't read the new deal just assumed it was the same as last week, free during the game ::)

I didn't wait until the game started as I saw the postings regarding the times of the offer.

Once the game started, the site kept freezing up and I gave up.  I was lucky this time.  Last week I couldn't even get the home page.  :D
