1939 National Register??

[sirsimon]

I am glad it is finally coming out, though 7 pounds per household is quite expensive, slightly cheaper than getting hold of certificates from the GRO.

I wasn't expecting them to charge us per household, I wonder if they have photographs of ancestors since they were put into the registration cards?

Additional information is supplied such as-

"Maps will demonstrate how local areas have changed, never-before-online photos related to the individual’s life will add context to their record, we’ll use the numbers in the Register to show a breakdown of the local area, and local and national newspapers will bring 1939 to life like never before."

Note "never-before-online photos related to the individual’s life will add context to their record" that does not necessarily mean they will be giving a photo of the person themself and will probably mean photos of life in the 1930s

Personally, I think they've got a bloody cheek. I have a worldwide subscription to FindMyPast and now they're sending me junk mail telling me that I can have more information if I pay extra for it. What will they start to charge their "all in" subscribers for next?

I'll not be buying the info and neither will I be renewing my subscription when its due.

Like others, I'm glad we've got a date, but shocked at the price as it's per household. At that price it certainly won't be for idle browsing out of curiosity but will just be for trying to break down a brick wall. Although I have a subscription I also have some credits left over from various offers, I wonder if I will be able to use those? I think I would have preferred a set price to view the records for a year.

Well I've had 2 emails one as a subscriber and one as an early sign up. Both offer me 10% discounts. Where's my 25% off?

[mgeneas]

Perhaps the amount of the discount is tied to how long we have been subscribers. It would not be fair to long term subscribers to give 25% discount to all the pound a month folk.

[groom]

I've been offered 25% and 10%, I hope they can be combined i.e. 35% off?

I've still only had the one email mentioning a 10% discount  - absolutely typical of FindMyPast to be inconsistent in the way they treat their customers !
