Yes, no moans from me this time if they are compensating subscribers. Perhaps they had a lot who were wondering if it was worth subscribing as they keep giving free weekends!

You may have noticed that we’ve made all of our British and Irish records free to view for everyone over the next five days. As a loyal subscriber who always has access to the records, we want to reward you too. That’s why we’re adding an extra three days onto your subscription, free of charge. You don’t need to do anything, we’ll add the days automatically. It’s just a small token of appreciation for your continued loyalty. Enjoy!

I've had such an email before but n'owt this time. It's about time FindMyPast got their priorities right. What effort does it take to tell is subscribers at the same time as publicising freebies?

I received an unsolicited Email telling me about the "gift" at 2.03pm today. :)
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Result  :)  :)

Have just heard from FindMyPast in response to my email. They will credit my account with three extra days.

Ellenmai - hope you soon receive a similar email!

I also read that Bucks and Berks PR's are coming to FindMyPast. Cannot come soon enough. Many ancestors from there as there is poor coverage online, also living 200 miles from the records offices does not help.
