They sent me one saying I was going to be on a special 'Find My Past IE' product. I asked for evidence that I had changed my product and they soon back tracked, though obviously they have shown their hand.
Another increase brings them very close to 'not worth the money' territory.

Some public libraries give access to Find my Past.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for that info Rena. I always thought FindMyPast was owned by a US company.

It may come to me using that access at the library in the near future Jackella, if I opt out of subscribing to FindMyPast.
