I also asked them about the 1911 census before I renewed my sub in December... I am not happy as they said it would be available to subscribers but did not mention about other charges. Now I wished I hadn't bothered to renew....

It's really annoyed me I joined for the Explorer package and the way I read their info late December/early January. It said the 1911 census would be available to subscribers on find my past. No mention of extra charge. Also on the home page on the left hand side it said available April 2009.

Now they say they cannot give a date or extra charges. GRRRRR

Ivy - no mention of how much. I too would very much like to know as I would only have a month or two of my Explorer subs left to run.

Hmm, I've so far looked only at the index info, and used 10 credits on one transcription. I have identified quite a few households where I'd like to look at the original (and no doubt some where I'd then like to see what the transcriber made of the handwriting giving details such as birthplace/no of children to the marriage etc). I was waiting until I had a subscription option to do this. Have they not mentioned what the price will be for the add-on subscription?

FMP have come clean at last. We subscribers ARE going to have to pay more when the 1911 census gets added to the main FMP.

"The census will be available on findmypast.com later this year, as part of a brand new subscription package. Existing findmypast.com subscribers will be offered an add-on package at a preferential rate. "

Annoyed.
