No reply button comes up on that new thread, is it locked now and we can no longer contribute to the pricing structure debate?.

ok, without jumping up and down and making a big noise, has anyone found any random name in the 1939 census, clicked on the 'preview' button, clicked on 'update the record', clicked on 'close an open' record and looked at the top of the screen?


sshhhhh!

Dawn asked if we had done that and I replied no ,cos I haven't.
I'm not even sure why I would need to?

I only got a 10% offer (not 25% as a lot seem to have done) from Find My Past,despite having world membership for years.

I have now paid nearly £50 (2 lots of £24-95) but I have found both sets of grandparents and one for a friend.

I'm quite happy ,as it would have cost me loads to spend the £42 to get it from the NHS (and I didn't know where some of them were living) Also going down to Kew would have cost loads too.
