My Rant

[-SharonA-]

I don't usually rant but here goes.
The family record website FindMyPast is advertising free use of it's website for the weekend.
Settling down with my names, clicking on first one to view details, I am met with a message that if I want to see anything more, I gotta pay!!!!!!
THAT AIN'T FREE USAGE!!!!!

I've just had a look at the home page and it is advertising a free trial and free access to UK census records this weekend. Are you a member?

[Bobbisox1]

They get you that way Sharon, they should be done under Trading standards

[barry1010]

They are offering me a 14 day free trial

[TonyV]

Not much is free in life Sharon, apart from AB

[-SharonA-]

Yes, in the sense that I had to log on!

[barry1010]

I meant was you already a member hoping for free access to records you would normally have to pay for

[Barmaid]

It's a 14 day free trial. You'll only pay if you don't cancel within 14 days.

TBH I'd use familysearcg.org which IS free and has a lot of census transcripts.

[-SharonA-]

No, I guess not then.
Will check out Barmaid's recommendation.

Friday isn't a weekend.

just free census records, I think.

I just looked a up a name in the 1871 census, without signing in. It said there were 74 results, and I could see them if I registered for free.

Sounds like free usage to me.
