Has anyone worked out the cost of 3 days on FindMyPast?   Is it really worth all the fuss.

Carol

Very true!

That isn't really the point in this case. FindMyPast are regularly offering free weekends but ignoring their loyal subscribers. It now seems that they are also discriminating between those customers and if you have a World Sub they will give you extra, but if it is just UK they aren't interested. Out of courtesy it should be offered to all.

Wrong way round, my posting of grooms comment, but agree!

groom I have been on to Facebook and can't find that particular topic, any hints on how to find it?
I did come across people complaining that they are advertising the 1939 Register but this isn't being included in the free access and there is apologise from FindMyPast saying it is a genuine mistake

The answer I got on FB when I asked why it wasn't being offered to UK subscribers was this:

"As part of our limited free weekend access, we are offering all our Britain customers free access to Irish Records.

With this in mind, there will be no adjustment to the subscription terms of Britain packages.

You can view Irish Records at http://search.findmypast.co.uk/search-ireland-records until 26th June"

I agree with you Groom, although I have world it should make no difference.  We seem to have to fight for everything including getting reduced subs for loyalty although I know they're better than Ancestry who seem to be very aggressive in how they handle subs etc.

If they're offering me free access to Irish records, why haven't they bothered to tell me?

Clearly these numpties couldn't run a whelk stall and their actions are just as useless as their website search facility.

If I had anyone I wanted to look up in Ireland.............
